Vibrant Poppies in Watercolour with Jacquie Herron
Who doesn’t love poppies? I will create three different poppy paintings in watercolours. Although the subject is the same, the compositions and method of painting will be different for each. You will use big washes, wet in wet blending, and negative painting to create a field of poppies. We will create a realistic poppy using a layering effect and another that is more experimental and fun.
You will need 3 or 4 sheets of 9 by 12 or 11 by 14 watercolour paper (100 percent cotton rag 140 lb paper is recommended. Arches, Saunders and Fabriano or good watercolour brands).

Then we’ll layer in mixed media elements such as watercolor pencils, markers, ink, oil pastels, and collage to create interesting and varied results.
