Today's Painting #71 - Shine Like the Sun

Hello everyone, welcome to my Today's painting. It's been a year my mom and sister asked me to paint something for our dining room. I keep postponing to paint it because I'm too lazy to make a big painting, usually I draw in A5 paper, but I make this one in A3 paper (16.54 x 11.69 inches), besides last year I'm still a total newbie, I don't have enough self esteem to paint something which will be hang on our wall.
I decided to paint sunflowers because this flower known for being happy flowers, I hope it will brighten our dining room, 5 flowers representing 5 of us (our family members)
Anyway I didn't use any filter for all of these photos, and because I make this painting at night so the step by step pictures would be a little bit unclear.
Painting Process

They said you can be anything, so I decided to be creative. I recycled some trash I can find around my house, plastic bottles, a broken door (I use it as my drawing pad), etc.

I'm the type of person who is learning by doing. Here I make a mistake, see that piece of cloth? I don't like it, but I've learned something here.

Very nice drawing, @hananan :) Sunflowers always make me happy and your drawing certainly did :D
Love the green apples too ! You painted them so nice <3 I love how you capture that lime-green colours so well * ___ * !!!
The vase's glass and water contents are also wonderfully drawn~ A beautiful post, @hananan <3 Love it !!!
Thank you very much, your sweet comment make me want to practice more and more 😀
Your paintings are so good! I am so inspired to try water colors! Have you ever thought about doing book illustrations?
I think it would be great, but I'm not a writer and I don't have partner to write any book 😊
Anyway, thank you.
Watercolor pretty easy to do, I'm new in this field, with watercolour whatever you draw can turn out to be something beautiful 😀
