Summer Meadow with Butterflies

"Summer Meadow with Butterflies" invites you to color at a relaxed pace. Nature motifs are especially calming. The organic shapes of flowers, leaves, and landscapes encourage layering different shades. Feel free to look up a photo of the real subject first, but it's not required.

For the summer meadow, work with various shades of green – dark grass in the foreground and light green behind creates depth. The wildflowers look wonderful in red, yellow, orange, and violet. For the butterflies, try color combinations like blue-orange or pink-black, and emphasize the delicate wing patterns with a dark pen. Color the flower centers dark to make the blossoms look more three-dimensional. Use bright yellow or cream for sunny highlights on the meadow to create a summery, glowing atmosphere full of energy and life.
