Papaver somniferum seedling

Annuals are encouraged to seed in the less formal beds in our large garden. We tend them, photograph them, and I draw and paint them. This is a colored pencil (Prismacolor) drawing of one of our seedling poppies. It was an odd form. Not exactly a single, nor a double and lacked the common cross markings in the throat.

The way the yellow flows into the pink is very beautiful. Gives off a kind of soothing feel to the art.

@KD91 Thank your for your thoughtful comment. I love layering colored pencils to get different effects. Different papers also change the textures and blending.
