Brilliant Poppies

These beautiful poppies will grow your skills in a number of ways as acrylic paints are combined with a stamped background. A combination of StazOn ink and rubber stamps make this beautiful painting.
Popularized by the poem “In Flander’s Fields”, poppies have remained a remembrance and hope for a peaceful future for over 100 years.

May your brushstrokes bring you peace and hope as you complete this wonderful painting.

October PHOTO Gallery
Special thanks go to Janet for teaching our October program. Her Naples condo is still suffering the aftermath of Hurricane Ian and was not ready for her return to SW Florida. Yet she flew down from NY and used Uber services to get to the Art League to teach this beautiful program. Careful observation of real poppies led to the accurate leaves we painted. We learned how to stamp and how to create the vignette effect. Poppies are so very beautiful due to the strong contrast Janet taught. THANK YOU, Janet!
