I can't paint butterflies for toffee! I like the delicacy of this one, Rebecca. All the best :)

Hi Sarah, thanks for your comment, i am pleased you think it is delicate thank you :-)

Not easy to paint a butterfly in watercolour. You have a magnificent collection in your portfolio. So very well executed too!

by the way Sarah, i bet you could paint butterfies if you tried..... have a go, and let me see what you come up with, they do not have to be perfect :-)

Hi Beatrice :-) i agree they are not easy to paint but i feel watercolours are just the ticket for them because of their translucent quality. I am grateful to you for thinking that they are well executed, thank you :-) i am still practicing :-)

This is a watercolour of the Swallowtail Butterfly. Roughly A6 Canson Montval watercolour paper that is 300gsm. I used Lyra aquacrayons. Hope you like it :-) I had a go at painting a bumblebee today and it is as bad as the vulcher robin :-p I have not added it incase some people may think it rubbish and taking up space for other artists :-) What are your thoughts on this? anything wrong? It is my sort of first of these in a while.
