Here is how you can recreate the sunflower field painted by @sanmy.art
Blue sky :
Time to paint some blue sky to put us in a good mood. Begin with a layer of bright blue acrylic paint. Next, paint a layer of light blue over it to get that beautiful morning sky. Blend the layers further down with white paint to achieve a gradient.
Rain clouds :
Make an outline for the clouds with white paint. Fill it with a layer of grey acrylic paint. Highlight them further with white paint to make the clouds look puffy and more realistic.
Green field :
Make the base for the sun flower field with a layer of green paint. Draw many plants close by, in a slanting position to make them look like they are swaying with the wind. Top it off and draw your sunflowers with yellow and brown paint, highlight the petals with a little white.
To make your field look lush green, use light green paint to highlight a few leaves in the plants that you have drawn.
Sunshine :
The morning sun is usually visible in a small round form with long, white rays. Draw your sun with white acrylic and once it dries, highlight it again by drawing with another layer of white.
Now you have a thousand splendid suns on your canvas!
A canvas is a very aesthetically pleasing way to create your art work. It is also the most durable way of preserving them. Awaken your artistic spirit and enjoy painting beautiful sceneries on your Menorah canvas panels .
