Common Poppy

Description

COMMON POPPY – also known as the Field Poppy or Corn Poppy (Papaver rhoeas)
This iconic flower has long been associated with remembrance, so it seems fitting to be releasing this tutorial on November 11th, Armistice Day or Remembrance Day as it is also known. This bright, cheerful little flower flourished in the battle worn landscapes left by the First World War, showing nature’s resilience in the face of adversity. The poppy has always been associated with arable fields, but was considered a ‘weed’ and declined as a result. However, resilient as ever, it is now a flower of choice, for anyone wanting to establish a wild flower area within their garden or local area. So lovely to see it’s cheerful little face across our landscape once again.

I have used the finest brushes to produce the tiny details which bring this painting to life.
The painting will be carefully wrapped in cellophane and protected with additional packing. I aim for my originals to arrive with you in the same condition that they left me. I use the Royal Mail’s ‘Signed for Next Day’ or ‘International Tracked’ service.

A bit about me:
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife – animals, birds, insects and botanical studies, I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials – both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work, and I look forward to hearing from you.
