Having trouble with the shape? Struggling with the ratio? Can’t quite crack the angles? Not sure how to edge them? Which brush to use? How to fit them on a small face?
I hope all your problems will be solved in this class designed to make your problems disappear and produce the most delicate, elegant butterflies possible!
We will cover the following topics:
- observation and study of the parts of a butterfly
- essential angles to create the perfect shape
- angle of the wings
- focal point
- sponging bases
- good colours
- the best linework to use
- use of different brushes
- numerous elements and embellishments to enhance your design
I will show you as many different styles as I can fit in within the class, incorporating different elements such as:
- real butterflies
- dots
- teardrops
- flowers
- leaves
Using the theory and techniques learned in this class, you will be able to adapt any of the styles to create your own beautiful and unique designs. You will finish the sessions feeling confident and with a thorough understanding of how to create your own style of butterfly on any child!
We want you to be comfortable and relaxed so that you can enjoy our new online classes. Each class will last 2 hours, with time for questions and interaction. We’ll be using Zoom, and will send full instructions beforehand so you can be confident with the technology. In each module, I will demonstrate different methods and you can practice alongside and ask questions as we go. Classes will be limited to 10 people so I can give students individual attention. You will need paint, sponges, brushes and a practice board or paper to work on.
