Watercolour Poppy Demo

by

Here is a simple watercolour step-by-step to paint some pretty poppies - just right for a warm spring day.

Watercolour original of poppies - 8×10 inches on Arches hot pressed 90lb paper

The paper is hot pressed but you can use NOT or ROUGH - you will just get a different look.

If you click on the images to bring them up nice and big you will see what paints I used - I also include the traceable outline for you to use - have fun!

COPYRIGHT - if you paint this exact composition in these colours then you can keep it for yourself but not show it publicly or sell it - BUT - if you change the compostition or the shape of flowers etc then it will be your own design and you can sell or show publicly - hope that helps - Alison

Summer’s Final Flame

How about a ravishing red poppy to send off the fabulous British summer we have had?

I used Arches hot pressed 90lbs paper (unstretched) and Cadmium Scarlet, Cadmium Yellow, Sap Green, and Winsor Blue to paint this simple poppy.

Double click on the images to bring them up nice and big. Here is the outline if you want to use it - or use another poppy outline of your own in you prefer.

Use this as your outline if you are not a confident drawer

Please feel free to copy these but they cannot then be sold as it would break copyright. What you can do is use my steps to paint your own images. For example - use my poppy demo step by step to paint a poppy outline that you have created instead of mine and that’s OK to sell. Thanks!

Let me know how you got on!
