Butterflies


I think this is finished.
It is a ice cube tray dump on yupo (described earlier in 'Color Fun').
I covered that with crinkled up tissue paper and let the whole mess dry
for a couple of days.
Then I negative glazed with watercolor to create the butterflies.
This time of year in Florida, butterflies are everywhere in all sizes and colors.


Here is a recent page from my art journal.
I must have butterflies on the mind!
Happy PPF!

Fantastic work on the Yupo. I have yet to try it but think this is spectacular. Love the "negative" butterflies. xox
