Very effective....I love it. Very well done.

Thank you Stephen... adding the tissue paper is another way of being able to use watercolour on canvas.. and of cours, poppies are an ideal subject for this method...the tissue allows for transparency and runs.

You've really captured the spirit of these poppies. Excellent!

Thank you, Jacki- Poppies are a joy to paint because they are so flamboyant. The lend themselves to underlying collage or very rough paper...and the watercolour is used very strongly....also- the bigger - the better !!

This one is fabulous too........well done Vivienne for attempting something different!

Thanks again Patricia...I'm always on the look out for a challenge- it stops one getting stale !!
