How about expressing sunflowers in full bloom during the hot summer using torn-paper collage? If you carefully observe real flowers and pay attention to the sketch and color palette as you create, your work will turn out even more wonderful.

While sunflowers are strongly associated with yellow, it could be fun to create original sunflowers in any colors you like.

Please use this as a reference and give it a try!
