Description

The title mean "Poppy flowers"
This is my first oil painting (on a canvas).
After taking a picture of the painting, i adjusted the levels in photoshop (because there wasn't enogh light, and i didn't use the flash).

A few detail pictures can be found on my blog: [link]

Any critiques, tips and suggestions are more than welcome beacuse i have A LOT to learn :)

That’s really beautiful! I love the contrast between the red of the poppy and the blue background. Really makes the poppies jump out at you.

One thing I would say is not to be scared of using too much paint. Oil points are fantastic for mixing on the canvas rather than making colours on a pallet try painting the base colour then adding paint right to the canvas to mix shadows/highlights on the canvas. Another point (though this may be a fault of you camera than of your work) try using the full range of shades right from white to black, people are always worried about making shadows to dark but it’s good to have strong contrast in art.

Other than that this pictures is stunning. The shapes and colours are lovely!
