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. |
