Embrace the Light Poppies Step by Step by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina

Oil on Linen Board


I painted poppies again today, the poppy siren song I've been heeding lately here in Flower Mound Studio is not quite finished. I wanted to take a loose approach, so I started with a slightly rough surface, adding texture to my gesso. I placed large, quick patches of some cool transparents for the greens, and then red transparents for the flowers. I had to work quickly to get everything blended before the colors dried. For the final step, I used bright opaques. Visit my art blog today to see the painting step by step!
