Here is a simple watercolour step-by-step to paint some pretty poppies – just right for a warm spring day.
The paper is hot pressed but you can use NOT or ROUGH – you will just get a different look.
If you click on the images to bring them up nice and big you will see what paints I used – I also include the traceable outline for you to use – have fun!
COPYRIGHT – if you paint this exact composition in these colours then you can keep it for yourself but not show it publicly or sell it – BUT – if you change the compostition or the shape of flowers etc then it will be your own design and you can sell or show publicly – hope that helps – Alison

Nice demo. Its really very useful for beginners. I would love to see more demo’s like this.
Thanks so much – I have a lot more planned:) Are you a watercolourist?
Love your demonstration, have you ever considered doing some online classes as I for one would be delighted to have the opportunity of learning from you.
I live in country Australia and I have been looking for some online classes that I might enjoy.
Hi there – so glad you enjoyed this – I am looking to setting up more regular mini demos on Youtube for which there would be a small charge – am working on it! What are your fave subjects?
I love poppies (and I have a bad case of spring fever), so I heartily approve! Beautiful work.
Glad it lifted your spirits Lindsay…
What a great tutorial! I am a beginning watercolorist and love to see what you are doing on your blog. This looks like a fun project to work on. Thanks for sharing! Sue
Well thanks Sue! I hope it really helps and I am always posting more….would love to see what you do with it.
