Playing with blending and a translucence technique. I'm using the push and pull technique and “lifting” with a dry large brush. When you lift the paint from each petal/leaf, you leave a dark line of color around the outside of the petal or leaf. As well as leave some white space at the tips of the petals.
In my early years as a student, (and I still consider myself a student!), I would have loved it if my teacher made available to me her lesson reference materials. So now I make them available to all my students! You can find my companion digital tutorial kit, comprised of sketch, color swatch and final (digital) image, and the hand-painted original from my tutorial (there’s only one), from my https://www.etsy.com/listing/1540978294/digital-only-transparent-poppy?click_key=e293e46c879b38718fc060a00dd9f345d5966886%3A1540978294&click_sum=40cecbda&ref=shop_home_active_13

📜On PAPER, I’ve used Meeden and Artisto for many years, and you’ll see me use one or the other in most of my tutorials. My Meeden paper suggestion is 100% cotton, has a really great texture and is finer grade. My Artisto paper recommendation is student grade, handles lots of water, (still good for wet on wet) and is a bit less expensive.
