fun, splashy abstract watercolor butterfly
Вставка

- This is a loose, abstract watercolor butterfly that is really fun to paint! You can use any medium brush of your choice and 3 main colors- a base color for the butterfly wings, a contrasting color for the veins, and a complimentary bright color to splatter, usually a warm color. I also use a white gouache to splatter around at the end, which creates a delicate atmosphere to the wings. Have fun! Tag me @bloomfeatherstudio on Instagram. I would love to see what you come up with!
Colors I used:
quinacridone purple from Daniel Smith
lemon yellow from Winsor Newton
horizon blue from Holbein
hooker's green to mix with the purple which makes a dark gray for the body of the butterfly, but you can use payne's gray or black if you would like.
It shows us how delicate butterflies are. I love it when an artistic expression of of whatever it is and you still know what it is. Butterflies are so beautiful and you make them even more!
Bravo
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🩷
You do not know how many simple watercolor "tutorials" I've watched where all they do is show you them painting their picture and don't tell you a single blessed thing about what paints and materials they are using OR WHAT THE FREAKING HECK THEY ARE DOING! Anyway (moving on from my passionate views about simple watercolor UA-cam tutorials), the point is I love how you walk us through every single step, unlike a lot art channels' simple tutorials that I've watched. Very helpful and gorgeous. I'm going to stop typing before I become THAT person in the comment section.
heck, I probably already have
I'm glad my tutorials are helpful to you! I appreciate you being here. I would love to see your work when you get the chance ❤️🖌️🎨
@@bloomfeatherstudio1003 I'm so glad I found this channel. I mostly do simple landscapes (very very simple), because I only started watercolors about a year ago, and I'm teaching myself so it's not very official 😁. And this channel has inspired me so much to branch out a little, rather than just doing the same thing every time I sit down to paint.
I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with that (no offense, I'm just kind of shy about showing people what I've done, in all areas of life really). But if I ever change my mind I'll put a video up on my (unused, shame on me) channel and comment the link.
@@YourResidentPersonWhoDoesStuff I totally get that! 💙
Beautiful! Love watercolor paintings.😊

Thanks, I'm really glad you like my tutorials! I'll be posting weekly this summer,. Stay tuned💗
Absolutely love this tutorial. Thanks so much. I've watched several times! Can't get enough of it. 😍 Can you please do more tutorials like this type of abstract butterfly with different colours?
I'm happy you like it! What colors would you like to see?
@@bloomfeatherstudio1003 it would be awesome to see how you create pink or blue butterflies. I love how you use colours. 🤩
Thanks, that's a good idea. I will try to make another with those colors!
Beautiful! I find that most people tend to make the bottom section of butterflies too big. I'd live to see what this ine looks like with a bit smaller bittom section. 😊
Try it and show me! 🩷

Beautiful!
Thank you!

This is pretty. I would have like to have seen the tutorial of one with more colour though. I see this is an older video though so I'll check out more of your videos.
I'll keep that in mind! 💗💗💗
Really enjoying your art. Could I ask the type paper you use cause mine dont spread out like yours did?
Make sure to wash it with water first so that the watercolor runs a bit. What paper did you use? 'Ive done this many times on different paper. Personally, for cheaper paper I like Strathmore 400 series the best, but 100% cotton would work as well.
Do you have a link for that pretty flower palette? I would love to purchase one.
It's a decorative plate from Joann's Place&Time brand that I bought last spring. Try next spring to see if they have something similar. I'm going to try getting a Christmas-themed one this year 🩷🩷🩷
So beautiful! I had trouble keeping my paper, wet enough while working on this. What kind of paper are you using?
I have used both cotton and cellulose paper. It definitely needs quite a bit of water, especially with cotton paper. If you try again, wet the butterfly first, then wait a minute to let it soak in. Then, wet again where you see it drying up. Let me know how it turns out!
@@bloomfeatherstudio1003 I will definitely be trying again! Thank you for the response. 🙏🏻😊 How about making a dragonfly like this as a tutorial?
@flutterbydragonfly good idea! 🩷🩷🩷
@@bloomfeatherstudio1003 yay!
Love it. Really like your very fine rigger, can you tell us about it please?
Thanks! My rigger is an off-brand that is many years old and doesn't exist anymore. I think the most important factors when looking for a rigger is long bristles that can hold a decent amount of paint. If I were to buy one, I would look for a bit thicker than what I currently have.
@@bloomfeatherstudio1003 Thank you.
I didn’t like how you teach. I love your butterfly but I felt like it was done so slowly and not very clearly
Sorry to hear that! Next time, try speeding it up. I do that with most tutorials😃
