Petunias & Butterfly
I'm beginning a new floral composition. This one was inspired
by my potted purple petunias and a huge Eastern
Tiger Swallowtail. One day I was gazing out at the
flowers when this big Swallowtail floated down and began
investigating the Petunias :))
After sketching the composition on Arches CP paper, I stretched
the paper and taped it down. When it was bone dry, I applied masking
fluid where I wanted to preserve the white of the
paper. Next, I apply an underpainting on the Swallowtail.
I will need to wait until the underpainting is totally dry
before applying more glazes of transparent color.
