Five Minute Poppy

Five Minute Poppy 9x5 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press done today, a quickie, as is obvious from the title. An imaginary poppy was pencil sketched using almost blind contour line, center laid in with yellows, a few petal shadows, then the background. It was made by laying the dry paper into wet palette colors then pulled up, about 3 times, to get a unique abstraction. I'm always saying to students to make art at least 5 minutes a day.
