When starting a new idea, I go to my sketchbook first. I play with the composition and work out where the highlights and shadows will go. On the canvas I sketch the lines in with a yellow. I enjoy building the layers of colour, starting with the darkest hues and moving to the lightest highlights. I always consider the sun; where is it shining from and how does the light affect my object. At the very end I add in the brightest, whitest strokes of paint to catch the eye and pull the viewer into the painting.
I love painting poppies; they catch the light in just the right way. Each flower is unique and catches the viewer and pulls them into the painting. This brilliant bouquet of poppies looks great against the dark background. This canvas print comes with a sturdy bracket at the back and is ready to hang on your wall.
