Butterflies and Moths - With An Edge
So I'm not a fan of bugs.
I'm more like a gets-deep-spine-shivers-of-terror kind of gal when it comes to creepy crawlies.
Yet I completely adore moths and butterflies. I mean, who doesn't? There is so much amazing variety in their shapes, sizes, colours and patterns. They're stunning.
So naturally they show up a lot in my artwork.
I'm not sure how I came upon this technique, but it works wonders with snazzy colourful subjects like butterflies and moths.
And it leaves you very light-headed.

First one, a made-up girly little thing.
Swallowtail Butterfly
This one was a volunteer piece for my university's Graduate studies journal.
Both of these are African species that were done as a commission for a biologist from Russia.
Blue Morpho
Sunset Moth
This one was a commission.
