The Season is changing and so the colors in nature we are getting close to the Autumnal equinox 2016, which would be on September 22.
The Fall season will bring us new enjoyable things of different kinds during the transition from Summer to Winter. Here in California I wont feel much that transition which I would love it!
Yesterday I was inspired to paint a Sunflower thinking to the beautiful nature in the wilderness. I wanted to paint in autumnal colors and add some character to the composition.
I painted the sunflower directly with the watercolors without trace it with pencil before. I loved letting the water flow and blend with the colors. This time I also wanted to create a different effect leaving some of the leafs in white and just outline them with the black ink pen, the white leafs are the only thing that I traced in pencil I really like how it turned out and I hope that you do too let me know your impressions! ❤
Details about my doodlewash:
watercolor outlined with black and blue ink pen. I used French Artists Watercolors Sennelier l’Aguarelle 12 demi-godets half-pans travel metal box and Pigma Micron Black ink #01 and a Blue Pentel ink pen. Painted over a cold press 140 lb watercolor paper pad size 7.5 x 9 inches!
With this watercolor I am also joining Charlie at doodlewash for #WorldWatercolorGroup
All my watercolors are available for Sale in Limited Edition Prints for more info to order contact me.
Have a great day!

Thank you so much.from Japan
“Sunflower” in the past of the famous Italian movie was very impressive.
Also remember to see this flower under reduced love.

WOWZA! That is absolutely stunning Carolina! So you just painted on paper without drawing? And then went over with the blank ink after the paint dried?

Awww Jodi that’s a wonderful compliment! Thank you so happy that you like my sunflower! Yes I painted straight on the paper and I outlined the sunflower with the black ink pen when dry. I left the paper white for the unpainted leafs that I outlined with the black ink pen. ❤

Awww Jodi I am so happy that you like my sunflower! Yes I painted straight on paper without a pencil sketch. Then when was dry I outlined with the black ink Micron pen! I left the white paper whenever I wanted to have the white and I just outlined some not painted leafs with the black pen! ❤

Your sunflower is lovely, and I think keeping some of the leaves white gives it a distinguished look.
