Poppy September

Popping to your watercolor poppy flower. I am into botanical illustration recently and have been trying to make one and sometimes turns out to be not what I have expected. But last week I had a try to make a loose style and realistic one.
The top one, i think I would call this as a loose style. I used micron pen for the outline - cant be seen well - and I used the wet to wet technique.
The second bottom, realistic style but my poppy turns out to be more orangish-red than reddish color. I put more orangish - yellow to the floral color.
What I learn from your class, complementary color can be use to darken the colors (I didnt know that!) . How about analogous, tetradic, triadic and etc, do they function the same?
