The other day, when I was painting sunflowers, I started several versions before selecting one to work on in more detail. Today I decided to see what I could do with two of these “outtakes.” I used an ink pen and started scribbling away.
The first outtake immediately reminded me of a feather (when the sunflower’s center flowed all over the paper). So I added ink and made it a feather.
Outtake #1:
The second outtake, looked like a bunch of sunflowers, so I added ink to make it look more finished. Lately I’ve been having fun playing with ink. In the past I shied away – thinking the outline had to be precise and perfect. Now I’m just scratching away, the way I would with a pencil. Is my style coming out?!
Outtake #2:

These came out awesome! Love love #2!
Thank you! Looking forward to seeing your sunflowers!
these are great!
A belated thank you! 🙂
Both great!! The feather is floating on the paper – so soft and well, feathery!!
Thank you! The feather started out as the biggest mess and turned out to be my favorite.
Yes, I’m loving this style! Keep going!
Thanks!!
Really nice – like the sunflowers in #2 outtake!
Thanks! I think I like it better than the original sunflower!
