Tuesday afternoon

Watercolor.  I added teaxture to the body using marks more like drawing with the paint.  I also added some texture to the wings and painted the stem.

Acrylic.  I am using a 'local color' approach.  I mixed greens and painted the leaves.

Colored pencil.  I used white to add highlights in order to pop the butterfly forward.

Colored pencil.  I used pomegranate, dark green , canary yellow, and chartreuse so far.  I am lightly layering the color and values.

Watercolor.  I wet each leaf before adding color.  I then dropped in yellow and then green paying attention to values and  color.  Keep any highlights white if you can.
