Sunflower painting:
I have used traditional oil painting technique for this painting.
So, start with darker colors and build up to mid tones and finally work the lights.
When mixing the colors allow a little darkening, as acrylics dry to a slightly darker
tone.
Outline the tracing with the dark blue. When dry swirl some of the blue around the
background. Add a tiny amount of white to the blue and mix into the background.
Allow to dry.
Paint the centre brown. Add a little dark blue to the brown to create the darker
brown for the textures in the centre. Add some orange to a fresh amount of brown
for the texture and also some dots just in orange.
Paint the lower petals orange & brown. The foreground petals in gold, then yellow
then finally some highlights with a white and yellow mix.
Have fun 
