Poppies - watercolour on paper




poppies for a Wednesday....

I quite like the pinks in these - of course the real colours were very bright red and orange... I toned them down because I like the softness of the baby pinks on crinkly petals. It was difficult to capture the crinkliness and the hairiness of the stems and bud coverings.

Your watercolour paintings are so beautiful. I would love to paint like this. Just wonderful and inspirational.
