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.
