My Painted Butterfly
I tried something different the other day. Painting. No,,,not like painting painting,,,I mean really painting....like all Van Gogh-like. I have never really painted anything.
My intention was to do the transfer thing from the Graphics Fairy. Which I did.
But it barely transferred. I dont know what Im doing wrong. All I managed to get was the outline
of the butterfly and the faint writing of the letters.
So I started to outline the whole shebang in black liner. And then I thought, hmmm, how hard canit be to paint in the colors??? I have some artist brushes. If it doesnt work out, Ill just sand the whole thing off and start over. Its only paint!!! So thats what I did.
I had already painted the table in my chalk paint using DE "Lambs Wool". I just love that name.
Its a very faint creamy pale yellow.
I was a paint mixin fool! I didnt have the exact shade of green as the pic, so I mixed a few.
Viola!
Dont be trying to spot the differences from either side. I know butterflies are mirror images on their wings. Mine isnt! Hah! |
Thank You Graphics Fairy for the lovely print.
