Paint With Me - Simple Sunflowers

I love acrylic paint because you can work so quickly with it. Here is a sped up video of a quick and easy painting similar to something we could do for a Paint and Sip Party. This painting took me under an hour to do and is a bit larger than what I provide for parties but it was a canvas I just had laying around. I really enjoyed doing a quick painting for the fun of it and not focusing on the imperfections.

Now, at the end of this video is where I might end for a typical paint night for a quick and fun painting. Next I just want to share the difference it can make to spend just ten extra minutes after the "finished" phase fixing and refining. After the paint had dried completely I just went in and fixed up around the flower pot rim where it was wonky, added a little shadowing, and touched up some spots where the paint was thin and background was showing through.

Here is the quick painting that took less than an hour.

Here is the painting after only ten minutes of refining.

I am thinking about sitting down with this painting for a couple of hours, just to show what you can build on top of something like this for fun. I'll post about that next time!
