Art Process Vid: Painting sunflowers with india ink (background for a greyhound portrait)

Hi guys, welcome to my next video. As always, if you enjoy my content please like this video and hit the subscribe button and the notification bell to get updates when I post new videos. You can support what I'm doing at https://ko-fi.com/studiolumitar/ and find commission info there.

This video is me painting a couple of sunflowers as part of the background for a greyhound painting I'm doing for a friend's charity auction in mid-March. You can find her Facebook fundraising group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1193526747645940 I've included a couple of clips of footage of my own greyhound Zephyr at the end of the video if you'd like to see my sunshine hound (he's a big goofy fawn boy). There are a lot of greyhounds out there needing loving homes who either had a racing career of varying length, or were abandoned or neglected as they were surplus to requirements. Fortunately my boy was a rehome after a short racing career (literally a few months, and I suspect from the race notes he was just a bit of a clumsy clod). Zephyr is from Brambleberry greyhounds in Spalding who matched us together when I contacted them asking about cat tolerant greyhounds.

Unfortunately I didn't get any footage from painting the greyhound so far, but I will try to grab some when I go over it for a detail pass. I hope you enjoy watching the process for the sunflowers. I'm hoping to do some more step by step tutorial videos soon to start documenting more of the specifics about how I work to hopefully encourage others to give inks a try.
