Poppy Painting

This work has been painted for three years, starting with the first brush strokes in 2018. I decided to try a new style of work away from the existing work, and I completed this work with a lot of concerns and attempts. At first, I was not familiar with free and anomalous brush strokes, so I worked in an uncomfortable feeling. Color disharmony and sloppy brush strokes were revealing my condition as it was. I drew several other works to fill in the shortcomings, and I started drawing the work again after I got used to the technique. Unlike in the beginning, it was drawn so naturally this time. However, I felt that the skills I got used to were reducing the charm of the work. So only after a long break did I get a sense of the appropriate brush strokes and colors to complete this work. Even now, if you look closely, there are several techniques in this painting that are painted at different times and feel quite different. The unfamiliar first technique, the relentless brush strokes, and the finishing brush strokes drawn by putting down the pressure. Fortunately, all of these naturally blend together to form a beautiful poppy flower garden.
