Butterfly Journal Page


After a light pencil drawing I apply a watercolor wash on the butterflies.


 When the watercolor is dry I make all the black details with a mixture of French Ultramarine (WN) and Quinacridone Burnt Orange (DS) watercolors.
After it's dry again I apply the white ink details.


 Finished page.
It could be a new print!

    1. Thank you Aneta. Those are Winsor and Newton watercolors, some Daniel Smith and a couple of Holbein.
