It is actually a daisy, but in the painting phase i tend to forget how original looks ;) Done from a reference photo found in wetcanvas. Acrylics on canvas panel. Knife+brush. 30*40 cm.
This is amazing Crisitina! Beautifully drawn and painted. Really bold and striking and such a fabulous colour! Great attention to detail. Very impressive. Brilliant artwork!
This flower looks more like a daisy than a sunflower for me. But anyway, it is beautifully painted and I love the idea you've had to use this blue/lavender colour.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE...LOVE THE SOFT BLUE AND THE DETAILS... JUST ENOUGH TO ADD INTEREST...EXCELLENT SUBJECT...THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE THE PETALS END UP IN "HE lOVES ME!"
Lovely work, Cristina - have you used heavy impasto with the knife or is it your use of colour which makes it look like that? Whichever, it works really well!!!
Artist Reply: Both: i first put acrylic color on canvas in a very thickly way using palette knife, and trying to give general shape, later with a very thin brush i try to enhance the little crisps and waves that form that way. Happy you noticed and thanks for your comment, Fiona:)
Cristina, that is how I paint as well, though I sometime refresh my mind after an hour or two :D This is the most beautiful sunflour that I've ever seen, it's a mini masterpiece.
