SUNFLOWER CANVAS

I am still on the subject of sunflowers!  My sketchbook is filling up fast and here is a small canvas, (30cms x 30cms), that I recently sold in the gallery.

This is a mixed media canvas using mainly acrylic paint and paper.  The leaves are collaged tissue paper which give an interesting texture.  I used purple in the centres of the flowers as it is the complementary colour to yellow.  I felt this gave the canvas an extra depth and lift.  I used printing techniques and my fingers rather than conventional brushes.
