I always wanted to paint butterflies, but they were somewhat intimidating. I would look at their wings and just sort of copied what I saw, not sure if it really looked right. It almost seemed like there was more to what the eye could really see. And so I have decided to really look at their wings closely. I wanted to learn more about the butterfly, and of course, the fairies and the flowers. The BFF class (Butterflies, Fairies and Flowers ) will start by painting the butterflies, and we will use different ways to get familiar with constructing their wings. I actually found the process fascinating.
I took a trip to a town couple days ago and visited the bookshop there. I found a butterfly journal, so of course I had to get it. The pages are smooth and thick and surprisingly sturdy for mixed media and so I have decided to order another one and gift this journal to one of the students that signs up to the BFF workshop. I will do the Draw on July 6, since I am going with the 6’s, and that way the lucky winner will get it in time before the class. I will add a set of Windsor&Newton markers as well.
Here is a short video explaining what markers I use in the class and why.
The ones I used are
Tombow markers
Prismacolors markes
Windsor&Newton Markers
I also forgot Copic Markers. Really, any mater would do, because we will make them work !
Happy Creating
