Reds A Poppin'

15x15 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done today for a timed challenge of 2 hours or less and I painted it with 10 minutes left.  Painting the red poppies in a direct manner wet on dry, I used primarily Perylene Maroon, Transparent Pyrrol Orange and Alizarin Crimson (Daniel Smith) and True Red (Grumbacher).  Darker red shadow areas had a mix with ultramarine blue, quinacridone violet, and thalo blue.
