Fearless Friday, Sunflower Pumpkin
Since I’ve been Playing with Sunflowers this week,
why not draw and color them too!
I have done sunflowers in many different mediums
colored pencil, gouche, watercolor, pastel
Today we’re going to use markers
and the floral pumpkin pictured below is the inspiration photo
I began with a pencil sketch
Then I inked over the pencil and erased it
Now we color!
When coloring with markers,
keep a piece of scratch paper nearby
to test and choose the colors
Then keep the colors you want to use within reach
and this limited palette will keep your painting cohesive
I have a set of Caliart markers that I love
Caliart markers are good quality and not pricey at all,
You can get a set of 100 for $35 here
“Sunflower Pumpkin” 5″ x 7″ marker and ink on mixed media paper
Happy creating~
Be Fearless!

Cheers to your creative work this week – pumpkins and sunflowers are so natural together!
They do play well together don’t they! Thanks Mary!
I think that is the perfect medium for your picture. It doesn’t feel like fall yet, but I’m sure the craft stores disagree.
Thank you Linda, I love to color with markers 🙂
This is so pretty Jenna – what’s not to love about pumpkins and sunflowers? Such a happy combination. Loved your step by step pictures. It looks like so much fun to work with markers – and therapeutic too lol. Thank you as always for sharing your wonderful talent and creativity!
