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

An Oldie but a Goodie - watercolour poppy demo

by

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

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…

A couple of large opium poppies I painted last year.
