I am a senior art and biology major from the College of Saint Benedict's and Saint John's University. I am writing this blog to keep a record of my creative thoughts and processes as I explore the painting medium. I hope this blog becomes a place of reflection and inspiration for myself and others interested!

Painting with Color: Flower of Sunflower
Photo is taken after work day 2. I had a rough time beginning this piece. When looking at my object I got overwhelmed with the amount of details that were in this one flower. There were so many individual pedals, each creating all kinds of shadows and now with color, those shadows were not just blacker areas but rather a color in them self. After some guidance, I begin just as I did in my value practice. I started sectioning pedals off and applying a solid color to their nearest tonal value. I did not have my camera at had at this stage, so I wasn't able to document the piece at this step of my process. Here I have just started to deal with the color and change of values in the center and with some of the pedals.
