Sad Sunflower

So, I decided that I might like to try my hand at painting. I did a google search and found Angela Anderson's YouTube channel. She has a lot of beginner videos where you work right along with her. Or as in my case, watch a bit, try to duplicate, and the watch the next few minutes.... The 2 hour video took a couple days to complete, but I did end up with a finished painting, albeit nothing like the one she had done.

At first, I was trying to work along with her without pausing the video. I got behind and did the initial chalk outline from memory. I missed half the petals!!!! So my sunflower is pretty sad looking, but overall, what I DID do, I felt was pretty okay. Okay for a child's painting! Seriously, I learned some technique and brush control.
