This the second lesson of the Poppy tutorial from Paul Clark. This style of watercolor painting is Line and Wash. Paul went over the outlines (comes free with the free tutorials) using India Ink and a sharpened stick. Having no India Ink, I used three different Micron Pens to go over the outline of these seedpods. I painted them using Winsor Newton Cotman watercolor tubes on Canson 140 lb. cold press paper.
I enhanced the pods using a white General's Pastel Chalk Pencil and salt to bring out the background texture.
I knew right away this would be my style of painting...It's Line and Wash!

Another gorgeous painting - I think this is one of my favourites so far - I have lots of poppy seed heads and they are such special plants - thanks for sharing with us at 613 Avenue Create this month
