The smiling faces of sunflowers are sure to brighten up even the gloomiest of days. These are no exception as you paint the sunshine yellow beauties.

Martha will encourage you to explore the use of color so each painter will go home with an original creation. Consider creating a background that blends with your decor or is the color of a blue sky.

Did you know the Pantone color of the Year for 2018 is Ultra Violet? What a beautiful background that would be for these smiling faces!
