"Monarch"


New classes are starting and this is the first project we will be doing. I feel like it will cover a lot of different watercolor applications and the background is easy because it's just put on in any direction. Colors we will be using are follows:

Butterfly: Winsor Yellow, New Gamboge, Cadmium Orange, Burnt Sienna, Permanent Alizarin Crimson (if you don't have cadmium orange you can mix winsor yellow with alizarin) Paynes gray and burnt sienna for the dark areas.

Flowers: Winsor Yellow, New Gamboge, Cobalt blue, Alizarin, Burnt Sienna

Background: Cobalt blue, Payne's gray.....spatter with winsor yellow, burnt sienna and cob.alt blue. Also applied Thalo blue in areas to brighten.
