Hi there! In this video I'm sharing with you a painting process of this relatively complex still-life arrangement of sunflowers and additional elements.
I had a bit of a hard time with this one, and it's a great opportunity to see me struggle a bit 😉
In addition, I am aware I changed quite a lot from the reference. This is mostly due to me having to work on, and improve my skills.
I would have probably wanted to better preserve that brightness of the yellow petals, as well as the shadow nuances and the oil lamp. But this is another step in the way!
Here's a link to the reference photo:
