Sunflower Trio

Artist's Gallery
Sunflowers Three Ways
On the note of summer flowers, here is an interesting study (not quite like Van Gogh’s sunflowers!). I did all these pictures from the same photo I took of a sunflower in our yard. However, I used different media for each. The top one on the left side is colored pencil, below that is acrylic, and the right hand painting is watercolor. They’re all done on plain paper, but the acrylic one is a card. In fact, you can see it up close right here in an earlier post. It’s very interesting how similar the colors came out in each version, but the effect is different depending on the medium. I think the acrylic is brightest, while the colored pencil is very blended, and the watercolor seems most realistic. Which painting do you like the best?
