Today, I wanted to show you my latest watercolor butterfly paintings. I try to paint two of these watercolor paintings per week.
It is a nice change of pace from my regular art projects. In the background, I am working on the latest Scary Cat Children’s Book and the Sacred Mask 5.
Both take time to develop. For now, I am going to focus on my new watercolor paintings. All these butterflies can be seen in the Butterfly Preserve of Key West.
I do not think they are native butterflies to Florida. I was only able to find the names of two butterflies. I do not know what the others are.
It is hard to look up that information when you just have a photograph to work with. Anyhow, I first drew the butterflies with pencil.
I traced over them with pen, before adding watercolor. I have this new glitter watercolor color paint. I like the shine that it adds to the butterfly wings.
By thinning the paint, I can control how much glitter I apply to the finished product. This time I glazed the glitter paint over a light blue color.
This created a nice transparency effect. Glazing is a new technique I am trying to master. The best way to master it is to make practice drawings like this one.
I also did a Youtube and a Tiktok video of both paintings. They should already be up and about, if you want to see how I went about making this painting.
I hope that this latest artwork makes you smile. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
