Sunflowers in water colour

Sunflowers is always a subject for paintings and I wanted to paint it for sometime now .Last week I have done this one with water colours  on a handmade paper. The  paper used for this painting is more rough and the effect is different from the  other paintings I have done in water colour.For the flower I have used the colours permanent yellow , yellow ochre and burnt sienna  .

Sunflowers or Helianthus  have other colours than yellow and some of these are used as ornamental plants.

Apple Blossoms in water color

 Each time when you paint a picture its a new creation. No painting can be the copy of another. This picture I have painted twice. Its  so encouraging to see the improvements that has been made, but cannot say which is better than the other. Apple blossoms seems to be a popular subject for paintings. I have never seen one myself and this is  from a picture in an art instruction book. Varying the shades of green  was my favourite part in this painting .Outline was highlighted with black ink.
