POPPIES All Around

POPPIES
Watercolor 11x15
 

I began this painting with wet paper and using a large flat brush - 1 1/2 in - quickly painted in the poppies and leaves. I felt like there was a slightly oriental feel with simple brush strokes defining the shapes. When everything dried I tried to come back in with darks to add details to the flowers and leaves.
