About this work

---

Summer brings the joy of witnessing sunflower fields under the bright blue skies, a sight I adore. To capture this, I attempted to paint such a scene. I employed blending techniques, dabbing the sky with a sponge, creating grass with a fork, and using the end of a straw to mimic the sunflowers. For the seeds, I dotted the canvas with Q-tips and cotton balls, and for the clouds, I used a splatter technique by striking a white-painted brush against another.
