Sunflower Watercolor Painting
This bright and cheery sunflower with a blue background was the perfect Let’s Make Art tutorial to attempt on a cloudy day.
The Subscription Box
The monthly subscription box arrives from Let’s Make Art with all the supplies needed to complete 4 projects. Each box comes with a surprise item with the regular supplies. This month it was a container of bleed-proof white, but I didn’t use it in this sunflower watercolor.
Sunflower Watercolor Tutorial
The Sunflower project came with these supplies:
- 2 pieces of watercolor paper
- step by step written instructions
- completed project photo
- paints
- sunflower outline
- graphite paper
You can see the Let’s Make Art- Sunflower tutorial I followed on YouTube here.
It was completed in 6 steps:
- sketch design
- paint background
- flower wash
- flower center
- dark values
- details
Using 2 paint brushes:
- Princeton Heritage size 2
- Princeton Heritage size 4
I used the following colors:
- Azure Blue

This bright and cheery watercolor painting tutorial was simple and fun to do. I love the colors!
