What gorgeous lights and darks within each color. Something I particularly love is the dappled blue on the biggest butterfly's wings. I love seeing watercolor used so well.

Awww thanks so much.. I was originally wanting to do butterflies that ranged in more colors but I only had references of blues, oranges, and yellows.

It's actually a very large black butterfly with colored spots but with the way that the light was hitting it, it looked more grey in the reference picture.

Thanks so much! It was really hard on the eyes trying to look at the photos I used for reference and get them translated into watercolors.
