In this video I will be sharing my method of drawing and painting poppies. Right now, these are covering the hillsides with beauty and color.
I created and painted a couple different versions showing various angles of the poppies, including a few buds.
I have chosen to use mainly primary colors and allow the red and yellow to mix together to create a beautiful hue of orange that I couldn’t buy in a tube.
This is primarily a wet-in-wet technique aside from the first layer of petals wet on dry paper.
My paper today is a beautiful and thick 100% cotton paper by @arches, “rough” 140# watercolor paper, which has A LOT of texture and absorbs a lot of the water from my brush.
I would not recommend this for a beginner, as it can be a little tricky to get used to. I have provided a link below to the Arches 140# cold-pressed paper, which I typically use and is of great quality.
I am also helping the paint to blend by “pulling” the paint specifically in the petal I dab or dot in the red paint and then go back with a dryer brush with less water and help pull the paint into the yellow petal with the tip of my brush.
I thought it might be fun to make this little practice painting available for you in my Etsy shop!
You watched me paint it, and I priced it very attractively for you!
What fun, right? Your purchase will help me and YOU! What's included?
* painting from tutorial signed dated and tutorial episode name
* my pre-recording swatch I created with colors for reference (all handwritten)
* more pre-work, showing brushstrokes, descriptions
These are all my behind-the-scenes notes and prework.
Every painting is on different papers, depending on what I was teaching, different sizes, and meant for supporting you although can be framed as well as a fun piece!
