🌞 Let’s Begin Painting Your Watercolor Sunflowers!

Step 1: Start with the Flower Center

Begin by painting brown circles in the center of your sunflower. This is the heart of your flower, so don’t worry about being too precise!

Step 2: Create the Petals

With a clean brush, pick up some bright yellow paint. While the center of the flower is still wet, gently extend the yellow outward to form the petals. Apply more pressure toward the middle of each petal to give it a natural curve.

Repeat this process for every flower.

Step 3: Add Green Leaves

Next, let’s give your sunflower some greenery! Using your green paint, create teardrop-shaped leaves extending from the center of the flower. Pro tip: Leave a small white gap in the middle of the leaf to give it a natural shine.

Step 4: Add Depth to the Leaves

While the leaves are still wet, add a little darker green to the edges or corners for depth. This will help create a beautiful contrast and make your leaves stand out!

Step 5: Detail the Center of the Flower

Allow your flowers to dry, and then add some darker details to the center. Using brown and black paint, create small dots or lines to give the center a textured look.

Step 6: Add Final Touches for Depth & Color

To really make your sunflower pop, add a touch of orange or a deeper yellow to the center, blending it outward. Play around with the intensity to find the look you love! This is your artwork—so experiment and enjoy the process!

🎉 Congratulations, You’ve Painted Your Watercolor Sunflower!

Now step back and admire your beautiful work! Whether you’ve painted one sunflower or a whole field, you’ve created something stunning and full of life.
