I find myself drawn more and more to drawing insects. They are so alien, colorful, and incredible. This is a scarce swallowtail, it's quite common in central and Southern Europe, even in cities as busy as Rome. It died in my courtyard and I coloured it with ink and Tombow markers, then partly cut it to set it free.
That is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the cut out idea! I thought it was a real butterfly at first.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea. I remember going to a card creating workshop once and watched this woman cut out amazing things with all these little scissors and I've been fascinated with this art form ever since, but I never thought to put it together with watercolours. Brilliant

Hi all, glad you enjoyed it. I was attracted by experimenting with the idea of separating drawing and drawing plane, and when I found this butterfly it seemed perfect for it
ReplyDeleteWell how lovely, Barbara! Great idea...
