Description
I created this impressionistic watercolor of lavender and smoky blue butterflies by using wet colored tissue paper, and water soluble wax pastels... and then letting some of the colors merge into one another to create this soft and transparent effect.
I like the softness and transparency of the butterfly's wings and think this print would make a lovely greeting card.♥
