Oil Painting Project: Yellow Butterfly and Purple Flower

How to paint an Yellow Butterfly with Purple Flower
In this fun little weekly painting project we are painting a beautifully detailed yellow butterfly that gently landed on a delicate purple flower!
What was challenging in this oil painting project?
In this week’s oil painting project, I actually came back to the painting after I considered it complete and made some additional modifications because I wasn’t happy with the first day’s end painting.
The result of this is bonus materials for you :). In this project I will walk you through:
– my thinking on what I didn’t like and why
– what I did to resolve the issues
– review and implement a glazing technique
-review how I test and evaluate colors before I use them
– provide a critique self-evaluation form, so you can study and resolve any issues you see in your work.
The result, Day 2 I’m happy with the results. There is balance and fabulous complimentary colors in this simple painting.
