Poppy

I'm creating a drawing a, just for the art of it.
Today's is a poppy. I've done two textile designs today and felt I'd had enough of painting but I got into this once I started. So often the case. #drawingadayclub

Pointillist poppy

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is a poppy. Done in dots which is called pointillism.
(Actually it's yesterday's drawing as I was unwell).

Here is a bit of the Wikipedia entry on pointillism:
Pointillism /ˈpɔɪntlɪzəm/ is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term "Pointillism" was first coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation.
