Want some tips about painting sunflowers? Using one of the videos from our Master Oil Painting Membership library I show you how I paint loose Impressionist style sunflowers in a field. Learning to paint sunflowers with feeling and energy is something anyone can learn to do. In this video, I share the painting techniques and art principles I use to create loose colorful sunflowers that look natural and realistic without being overly tight and photographic.
This painting was completed with an alla prima or wet-on-wet approach. It was completed in a little under 3 hours. The techniques and tips discussed can be used equally for plein air painting as well as for painting in your studio from photographs and outdoor studies.
I also did a blog post about painting the full video called 7 Easy Steps You Need to Paint a Dazzling Sunflower Field that you can find here:
This sunflower field was one of many that surrounded the town where I completed my MFA. I often drove out to watch the sunflowers follow the sun from early morning to late afternoon.
