Tips and techniques:
Use a light wash of watercolor to gentle brush down the petals of the poppies, leaving some areas lighter to create a sense of transparency.
Add layers of color to build up the intensity and depth, allowing some of the layers to show through to create a translucent effect.
Use a fine brush to add details such as the veins in the leaves and the delicate stems.
Consider adding a background wash to enhance the contrast and make the botanical subject stand out. I love flicking splatter and mashing it up to get a muted background.
