Hello everyone, This week I am bringing you something completely new; I haven't demonstrated here on YouTube yet! Painting sunflowers, especially in their field, is something that inspires many artists and nonartists alike. Today I want t show you how to break down another complicated scene, to work in layers and develop a painting utilizing these steps.

In this video, I discuss more on the use of cool and warm tones to arrive at near and far atmosphere. I spend a little time discussing the challenges with working from photos and how to use your composition to develop a work of art by not becoming too literal and devoted to your reference photo.

Painting this sunflower field was very emotional as these flowers are part of a field called Maria's Field of Hope. Which is a foundation dedicated to researching a cure for pediatric cancer. To learn more, please follow the link below.

I will be offering prints from this painting soon and donating the proceeds to the foundation. I expect to make that announcement in the next few days. Join my email newsletter for notification of when these will be available:
