Pat's Sunflower~WIP

My line drawing w/beginnings of a value study

After I had my way with this flower in Elements 6.0

The original image..a real beauty :)

One of my Facebook friends, Pat was kind enough to share some photos of her sunflowers with me. I chose one of the images and put it into Elements, played with different crops, applied various filters and adjusted the colors. I finally came up with an image I like. I've just started working on the line drawing and value study. I'll be starting out with watercolor but I'm pretty sure this will wind up as a mixed media piece before it's over.

You are on a roll with these. This is a lovely reference image and I know in your hands the final piece will be amazing.

I hope so, Jeanette. I seem to be leaning toward more graphic effects. I may have to get out my Frisket film and atomizer bottles again and do another sprayed watercolor.

Me, too, Maggie. I'm thinking there will be some colored pencil and marker involved with this project as well as the watercolor.
