The monarch butterfly is a beautiful study in contrast—delicate yet resilient, intricate yet bold. In this watercolor workshop, we'll explore those same contrasts on paper as we paint a vibrant butterfly using watercolor techniques.  Working from a reference photograph, you'll learn how to build layers of color, create soft wet-on-wet transitions, and use careful brushwork to define the butterfly's distinctive wing patterns. We'll finish with optional metallic watercolor accents to add subtle shimmer and bring our paintings to life.
