I love the texture of the poppies you have created with your artwork. The composition of the flowers is excellent showing the nodding heads of buds - colors are very natural. Very enjoyable art work to view.

Susan this is delightful and gets another 6 from me! beautifully painted with crisp clear colours, love the colour contrasts especially with the blue sky and the reds of the poppies and that towering composition also makes the difference! an artist as well!

So very cool. The floral forms is great. The details is great. The depth is great. The Shading is great. The blend of the colors is great. The creation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative and awesome work overall

A beautiful watercolor painting of these poppies while in California - seems like bringing good memories for you, Susan. The detailed blooms of various shapes and sizes make this an interesting presentation so nicely framed with the soft blues background.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


Nice composition, good use of the media, to create a good drawing.
The flower are drawn really well and the colors within them are good, creating a nice flow in the pedals.

A few suggestions:
1 the stamen on the flower especially the central focal point of the composition need to be better defined, in my way of thinking.
2 I also am thinking the background blues need to be darker, so that the flower are pushed more towards the foreground.
3 I am thinking a little more negative space at the top as well.

A good start in my way of thinking.
A solid 5, but in order for it to get to a 6 rating , what I suggested needs to happen in my mind.
Thank you for allowing me to review your drawing.

I keep liking this painting with watercolor. You've done a very nice job drawing the flowers with pencil. It's a very clean and delicate picture. Nice to look at great work ð???

Beautiful Red Poppies presented here in this pencil sketch. I like how they have been composed and with the buds attached. Nice yellow centres and pretty blue background. Beautiful artwork Susan!
