This weekend, while out at our local state park, I took a picture of a Red Spotted purple butterfly. Later that evening, I decided to try to paint this butterfly. I'm wishing now that I had just left the background a plain color instead of trying to paint the leaf, but live and learn. Additionally, I tried using some masking fluid around the wing tips in order to keep them white. I must not have applied it correctly because I was having a hard time getting it off, so just left it on, which is why the wing tips look bluish, and not white.
Above is the original picture / inspiration piece.
I posted on Facebook and surprisingly got a lot of positive feedback, which was nice. Obviously, there are things that can be improved, but I'll work on that as I go.
