Yorkshire artist painting “poppies in grasses”
whilst I painted the sky with brushes I have used pallette knives to portay the poppies and grasses using impasto gel to bulk out the acrylic paint sometimes straight from the tube,
I really like and enjoy this technique it shows spontaneity, freedom and give great definition and highlight to the subject.
Nopw the paint has had chance to dry I can go over part again to give greater definition where needed , for example to show where petals 
overlay or are semi transparent

So here I go again as I said in previous post , once I start painting Poppies I may never stop !
this is the basic preperation for a syudy of poppies in grasses, which I am painting with a palette knife and a lot of impasto gel mixed into the acrylic paint
Once this is totally dry I will go over with yellow ochre and raw sienna to define the grasses befor adding large poppies sillouetted aganist the sky

yorks artist latest painting “poppies”
Now that Iv’e started painting Poppies again I may never stop ! everyone loves these flowers probably because they remind us of hot sunny days or maybe it’s just the coulour so vibrant , they certainly stand out wherever you see them.
It’s a long time since Ipainted poppies but I always enjoy it so I will do a series – different styles , different scenes and different sizes.
They should prove to be great Christmas presents and I have several exhibitions coming up
