Poppy in acrylics

Originally I had a yellow /green  mottled background for this one and decided that I  didn't like it so I ended up painting over the background with white. It made the background rather interesting as some of the original background colour shows through which I rather like.

Poppy measures 8 x 8 inches and is painted on Colourfix Smooth Paper.

And for the next one, I painted this one. I love the close up crop of the poppy and I am really pleased with how it turned out.

I felt like painting something different so decide to paint this pretty poppy.  Rather pleased with the final result - kept darkening and lighting the petals until I achieved the effect I wanted.

Poppy measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.
