Butterfly Poses Project from Creative Watercolor Draw a light pencil outline of your butterfly. You can use a picture for reference or use the tracing trick. Paint the two top wings with an orange-to-yellow gradient. Let the top wings dry. Paint the two wings with the same gradient.Once the colorful layers have dried completely, begin painting around the pencil lines in one of the top wings with black watercolor or black ink. Either will work, but black ink will give you a more opaque effect, if that’s what you’re looking for. Experiment and see which you prefer. Paint the other top wing, remembering to paint around all the shapes, including those little circles. If you’re feeling a little shaky during this step, the exercises for pulse and precision will give you confidence. Once the top wings have dried, paint the bottom wings. Fill in the butterfly’s body and antennae using the same black paint you used for the wings. Add details in white. I like to use white ink, but you can experiment with gel pens, acrylic paint, or gouache. If you don’t have all these options on hand, work with what you have. Tiny dots at the bottoms of the wings add that certain something that really makes your artwork pop!
