This is not really post-worthy, but I'm trying to get back on track of journaling every odd day in September. One of the ideas I had for journaling this month was to experiment with techniques and medias. This butterfly is done in my 7 x 9 Raffine ArtSketch book. I painted the entire sheet with a gradated wash of a cool green. Then I started with the background and did some negative painting -- a technique I'd really like to get better at. It's really hard for me to wrap my brain around the concept!! Then I combined watercolor and watercolor pencils on the butterfly. I used Faber-Castell's Albrecht Durer pencils. The white on the butterfly is white acrylic.
