Poppy, 30th of June 2015.

Poppy, watercolor

Poppy is probably the most elegant flower I sketched (above). Attempts to emphasize light, pale-green nature of the stem did not finish with success so I went over the background with ink. It's not that bad in the end.

The illustration shown below was created by >> James Sowerby (1757 - 1822), English naturalist and illustrator. The illustration was published in Sowerby's and >> Smith's extensive work >> English Botany.
