How to Paint a Realistic & Vibrant Sunflower – Video Demo

 

The sunflower painting in this video was painted for my upcoming still life show on March 5. I have been hard at work in my studio these days…

Being an artist is demanding. Each time I start a new painting, I am faced with new challenges. It always amazes me how much I learn from every new piece. Other than my children, ‘Art’ has been my biggest teacher in life. I think that is why I love my profession so much – I am never bored or complacent.

The purpose of these little painting video demos is to give you a quick glimps into my painting process. With ruthless editing, I have cut hours of video down into just minutes. Obviously, artists are visual people, so video is a natural mentor for us - I try and keep mine ‘short & sweet’!

Flowers are fun to paint. They are much like people with their own unique ‘faces’ and features. The key to sunflowers - do not to skimp on the paint!
