*I am no longer adding videos to Patreon but you can still find me on Skillshare and YouTube!

Sunflowers! I just finished uploading this new tutorial to my Patreon page! Sunflowers with acrylic paint on canvas is an easy painting tutorial suitable for beginners.

Here's a list of all my paint colors and supplies with links to everything below.

6x8 inch canvas (any size will work for this painting) I get my small canvases from Blick Art Supply. https://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-premier-cotton-canvas/

I use Golden paints but if you don't want to spend that much on paint Liquitex Basics are a good alternative. I used them for years before switching to Golden.

I've been using Liquitex Basics brushes. I mostly use flat and bright brushes between sizes 5-12. https://www.dickblick.com/products/liquitex-basics-brushes/

I use palette paper for my palette. https://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-studio-disposable-palette-pads/

You don't have to use the same paint colors that I did - any yellows and blues should work for this painting but if you want to use what I did, here is my list.
Titanium white
Turquoise phthalo
Payne's gray
Benz yellow (aka Hansa yellow)
Indian yellow hue
Raw sienna
Quinacridone red

My completed floral painting is posted below. Feel free to use it as a reference for your own flower paintings. If you post your work to Instagram use the hashtag #paintwithelle so I can see and share your work!
