"Lit" watercolor painting of sunflowers - a class demonstration

This is the painting I'll be doing with my watercolour class tonight. I've a sketch for them to copy, and then we'll walk through, step by step, creating this lovely sunflower. I love how it turned out, and when I was finished this little 7" x 10" cutie, I couldn't stop. I pulled out a larger sheet of watercolour paper, and started an entire sunflower garden. You can't walk through the house now without veering around my little portable painting station (I have a painting board that attaches to my camera's tripod) and my girls were so inspired by my painting that they brought out their paints and started their own sunflower paintings.

I'm looking forward to class tonight!
