Imaginary Butterflies

In this mini-course we'll be looking at butterflies and how to paint them incorporating techniques and processes.

What You'll Get

• Drawing, watercolour paint techniques and colours mixing.
• Four video lessons explaining processes.
• A resources guide including the Coloricombo colour palette.
• One year's access from date of signup.

Materials

Paint

I like using a professional quality paint since the pigments are more concentrated and the colours are stronger: this allows for better mark making and painting techniques. The Golden QoR set is ideal to explore options for a very wide range of colours.

Paper

For the two butterfly projects I used cold press watercolour paper size 36cmx53cm. I recommend Arches Aquarelle or Hahnemuhle paper.

Brushes

Synthetic nylon brushes are used throughout this course. Paintbrushes used Include:

• Round pointed brush size 8 or 10
• Flat paint brush
• Angled brush
• Small size fan brush
• Comber brush

I also used a dip pen with watercolour paint for the outline.
