Butterfly Sunrise & Dandelion Step by Step

Image
  A glorious sunrise for the background using phthalo blue, ultramarine blue, cad yellow, cad red, magenta and plenty of titanium white. Used a big flat brush and a good deal of blending. Gridded the canvas and chalked in the butterfly. Painted in the dandelion fluffs and water droplets. Blocked in the butterfly wings with blues and purple and the tiny body with yellow and burnt sienna. Finalized the butterfly and now I have my healing. Namaste. Thanks to The Art Sherpa here .
