Fast And Loose
With a "Butterfly a Day" series I am practicing catching form and light without all the detail I'm infamous for and it's been a struggle.
Yesterday I felt like expanding on the "wet on wet," drippy-dippy painting. I wasn't tense at all this time around and I had fun letting go of my need for detail. I'm feeling like I'm transitioning from caterpillar, chrysalis, to butterfly🦋
I have around six to eight hours on this piece because some stages I had to let the paint dry before laying down more paint
$35.00 SBD includes shipping, without matting or frame.

Just love it. The butterfly and all the colors are wonderful.

Thank you @team101, I had a good time with this one. With each one I feel more at ease with the process.

Did you actually drew this by hand? Looks so beautiful. Keep it up

The drawing by hand is the easy part, working with gouache is difficult, especially working wet on wet....guiding freeflow without making a mess😉

When we think we have mastered one style we need to start expanding our knowledge and move on to something new.
@reddust, it is fun to see how you keep pressing forward with different styles of art. Keep up the great work!

I am going to draw a building this month, architecture type painting, a pen and ink portrait for a Steemit friend and finish my car, oh, and paint I vision I had long ago as a collaborative project with the @greadabu. I like watching my evolution with the butterflies. Thank you for supporting me as I learn @sumatranate🌼

If you look at the caterpillars and pupa stages of moths and butterflies, they are kinda creepy😨

Amazing those colors, It is like you see the world from the perspective of the butterfly self. It feels like a trusted 'thing' and it is saying: "look at my beauty, let your mind be filled with it and speak no more". Thanks for another great work from you!

Finally, a butterfly! Good call @reddust, the less detail, the more symmetry coming forth (I'm hopelessly addicted). Great painting!

@neil-rothbard, gouache and watercolor are difficult to work with but their vivid cooors and layering abilities are worth the work! Thank you.
