Red Oriental Poppy

Red Oriental Poppy (c) Tessa Spanton  mixed media

I used watercolour, acrylic, oil pastel, tissue paper and watercolour paper. The tissue I used made lot of texture which does not fully come across in a photo.

These poppies grow in my garden and originally came from my friend Elizabeth's garden.
