Ink and Wash BUTTERFLY PAINTING 🦋

In this video, we go through not only the drawing out phase, and the slightly different techniques that are needed for such a softly coloured, delicate subject. But I also demonstrate how to add the pop of colour that will really bring this painting to life, and these colours will stand out despite them being very pastel in tone. If you would like to learn more about the ink and wash technique, this is a good video to watch next: *https://tinyurl.com/msw25xnv* *SUBSCRIBE* to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2KsTSS3 🕒 *Timestamps* 🕒 00:00 Ink and wash butterfly painting 00:15 Drawing the butterfly's wings 04:51 Working on darker aspects of the butterfly drawing 09:13 Adding texture to the butterfly's wings 11:49 Drawing the fluffy body of the butterfly 15:15 How to draw a small flower 19:28 Preparing the watercolour mixes for the wash layer 21:16 Painting the butterfly 27:42 Painting the flower ▶️ *JOIN MY ONLINE SCHOOL:* on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheDevonArtist or through Etsy: https://devonartist.etsy.com/ 🧑🏻‍🎨 *RENT A SINGLE LESSON* https://devonartist.co.uk/video-shop/ ⭐ *FREEBIE CLUB Our *Freebie Club* gives you access to several full-length tutorials and a regular newsletter, alongside tips and tricks videos too: https://www.patreon.com/TheDevonArtist 🎨 *MATERIALS I USE* I am often asked about my painting materials.
