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

Embrace the Light Poppies by Nancy Medina 16X20 Oil on Linen Board Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site 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!
