Thought I'd share this new piece I did along with the steps. I wanted to try using acrylic paints along with pastels. I wanted to achieve a look that the painting was dripping off the page.
I started by putting in an acrylic wash in sap green and then did a quick sketch in vine charcoal.
I then filled in the butterfly in an acrylic metallic gold. It really sparkles when the sun hits it just right. Love working with these metallics!
Next, the pastels came out and I started blocking in the flowers and adding a little detail to the butterfly.
I finished up by adding in more details to the butterfly like the fuzziness of the body and details of the wings.
