How to Watercolor Butterfly Tutorial

I'm so excited to show you the painting process behind our butterfly DRAWING tutorial from a few weeks ago! She's totally different from the butterflies I've painted in the past and she's a real beauty! I'll share a few new watercolor techniques I'm playing with as well as some fun semi-transparent watercolor effects. I think you'll love it!

    Yay! Another patient artist. Heat drying watercolor dulls down the color and stops any further granulation or salt effects. I only use a hair dryer, not heat tool, and only once there is zero sheen on the paper because that helps stop the dulling effect, but still rarely.

Layering was not a thing in my schooling in the the 70s and 80s but I’m really liking the watercolor look…details last! What a concept! I’ve discovered pen on watercolor and even watercolor pencils on wet and dry washes…I’m collecting knowledge…absolutely cool 🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽Mia

I attribute that to you, Katrina! Thank you!!!! You're a wonderful instructor! Now I just have to decide which of your butterflies to paint next. :-) BTW, do you happen to know the name of the green butterfly? I wasn't able to find it anywhere.

The rest are real butterflies and moths, I promise! Haha

    This is stunning beyond measure! I don't think the lines give the butterfly the stained glass look, I agree with u that it looks delicate, especially because the vains of a butterfly are in fact like that, which is why I thought this was so difficult to draw. I was rly confused about the lines, where they started and where they actually finished. I have a question, though: how do you make such fine lines with your number 2 brush? I'm kind of afraid of trying to paint my butterfly because I've never been able to make suck fine lines 😭 Thanks for the amazing tutorial!

  • @katrinacrouch

    The key is an almost dry brush! Not a lot of pigment and only damp-not “wet”. Practice a little on some scrap paper to help your hand adjust. I’ve been drawing delicate things for YEARS (like, almost daily for two decades) so it isn’t hard for me but will take some practice to get the hang of it so scrap paper practice and less water are my best tips!

    This is beautiful! I have a question. Who makes your sap green? Different brands of colors can be completely different and sap green is a big one? Also a big tip, if you roll your kneaded eraser over your drawing instead of rubbing, it will pick up your pencil lines without damaging your paper at all. That is one reason it is not solid and is moldable. Love the butterfly🦋
