Friday Poppy

6x3 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper done last Friday as part of an online WetCanvas weekend drawing event challenge. I cropped all extraneous parts of a garden to focus upon the vivid blood red poppy and let excess paint drip down in a free fall. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Poppy Pretense

15x5.5 watercolor and black India ink on Saunders 300 lb cold press paper done today.  With large splashes of quinacridone coral, transparent pyrrol orange, Grumbacher red, and alizarin crimson I made blobs that are pretending to be poppies with your imagination.  A bit of ink line delineates petals, blooms, and stems and I accidentally sloshed some of it onto the background and it cannot be removed.
