An Oldie but a Goodie - watercolour poppy demo

I am doing a demo at a local art society on Tuesday and will be doing a poppy.

poppies for carolyn crop

So many people want to capture the breath-taking beauty of this flower that it is a popular subject and one I also love to paint.

Here is an old video (last year) of me painting a group of poppies in the breeze.

Underneath are some other poppies I have painted over the years…

Painting Day with Anne, Gwyn and Glynis

Three members of Pentyrch Art Society came for a whole day’s painting on Tuesday and we ripped through the demos - producing four paintings each - it was a fast-paced day and I enjoyed their company and chat about all things art.

 

Here are some pics of the ladies in action!
