I was watching a demonstration on Facebook where Lou Withers was teaching us to draw a poppy. Well I though I would attempt to draw one in my art journal. Not a bad attempt, although I struggled doing the dots (pointalism) shading with my stupid eyesight, but at least you can tell it is a poppy.
She then went on to show us how to draw a poppy in a different way. I found this much easier, as no "dots" were involved, just pencil shading. So I was pretty pleased with the result. I can now say I am not the only person in the family that can't draw (although I am note sure I could do it without a bit of guidance.

Lou is a fantastic teacher and really breaks down the way to draw something. (These poppies all started out being scribbled circles as a guide, and then we drew the petals, and finally inked them. I wish I had had an art teacher like her, and discussing that fact with my daughter, she said the same thing - they were never taught to draw!
