How To Paint These Stained-Glass Poppies

Method: combine simple techniques to create a powerful effect

by

This is a detail from one of a north-facing pair of lancets we’ve just completed.

Stained-glass poppies

The theme for these two lancets – “At the going down of the sun …”.

(Opposite them, south-facing, a second pair, whose theme is “… and in the morning || We will remember them”. You can find the full poem here.)

And I want now to take time-out from the work I’m doing on some new designs to talk you through the techniques I used to make the poppies. 

Maybe then, you too can use these same steps in the work you do.
