EASY PAINT A BLUE BUTTERFLY IN ACRYLICS

January 1, 2019July 15, 2019


HOW TO PAINT A BLUE BUTTERFLY IN ACRYLICS – FAST AND EASY. A FUN WHIMSICAL
BUTTERFLY YOU CAN PAINT ONE SIMPLE STROKE AT A TIME IN ANY COLOR YOU WISH. 

Are you ready to paint a blue butterfly in acrylics?   You can use any color you
prefer but I used blue as the person this hand painted sign is for loves blue
butterflies.

This is an older post moved over from my old site so the video is a bit rough
but you get the idea and I hope this tides you over if you have been wanting to
paint butterflies.   I have more coming in the future.  

No time now….PIN for later.





Okay, lets get on with the show…






SKETCH ON YOUR BUTTERFLY

Start with your pattern..I have traced this on with graphite paper.  It helps
keep me in line if I have a pattern to follow.





PAINT THE WINGS

Double load the #12 or 3/4″ Flat brush with True Blue and White. (need help with
how to load the brush and more basics, go here for instructions) Size of brush
is determined by the size of you butterfly.  

I make a scallop stroke…it is the same method as used in my How to Paint Leaves
tutorial.





Add another scalloping stroke for the bottom half of the wing.  The edges are a
bit streaky but that is because I am painting on paper for the photos, I
should’ve used a touch of blending medium to help prevent that.





PAINT THE BUTTERFLY BODY

Now he needs a body. After rinsing your brush load it with Black paint.  Touch,
press and pull down. As you pull towards the end let the brush lift back to the
chisel edge.





DETAILS

With the same black paint stroke on some little wing decorations… use the same
basic stroke just shorter and without the curve.




I like to use odd numbers for the details. We are going for whimsy here and not
realism. 



Now for the antenna…a liner brush with inky paint does a good job.  Inky means
the black is slightly watered down.




In the video you can see where I also use the liner brush to add a bit of
outline to the wings.

And that is how you paint a blue butterfly in acrylics!

    Happy New Year Pamela,
    
    I just returned home after attending a wedding in Lincoln Nebraska where
    they are having an exceptional winter. No snow anywhere, temperate whether
    and the 4 bridesmaids were outside late at night barefoot in sleeveless long
    dresses for a few last pictures as the married couple was leaving. They were
    under the influence of course but outside on January 5th for 15 to 25
    minutes is still risky.
    
    I love the butterfly lesson and the beach as well, and will make a point of
    trying them out. Out here in Ottawa they had about 2.5 inches of snow on
    Monday night and rain in the evening on Tuesday Jan 8th the end of the week
    will be below the freezing mark. Variety is the rule here in the Valley,
    with 3 to 4 variety of temperature and precipitation within the same week.
    Never a dull moment.
