This beautiful Poppy scene is a really colourful and detailed summer scene, however it isn’t as complicated as it looks!
In this lesson, we use many previously learned techniques and skills to achieve as much realism and detail as possible. Unusually for me, this scene has a busy sky and landscape, which leads to a very interesting landscape, one which was fun and rewarding to complete!
