Well, it seems I’m very inspired by butterflies these days.
Here is a new one I did in Neocolor II over Windsor & Newton gouache on Strathmore Toned Grey Mixed Media 5 x 7 paper. I immensely enjoyed this process and might do my next ones that way too, working Neocolor II wet and dry on a first dried coat of gouache. The reference for the butterfly is from Pixabay.

Thank you very much CaliAnn, Christel, Anthony, Viv and Kiffin
And Kiffin thanks for the feedback! I actually did try to make the front legs like in the reference picture in which they are folded. I guess I probably should go back over them and accentuate them a bit so they are noticeable. Here is the ref from Pixabay:

I think your butterfly is gorgeous as is – you aren’t going for realism, and IMHO, your painting is better than the photo – so there! my 2 cents
Thank you CaliAnn!
I just did a little demo of my process with Neocolor II in my Watermedia thread if anyone else is interested

Very good, lovely colours. It has a stained glass look about it which I like.
