This is the final result, after complete this process: (ref photograph)
Main steps;.- For this Project I did use wáter-soluble graphitone from Derwent (6B dark wash) sketching main features as detailed as posible, over cold press paper,. the idea is to make shadows with a clear guidance lines to work with
Planing the painting in advance we can mask to reserve whites
After complete these stages we need to fix the graphite to the paper (now we have our underpainting)
now we start to apply watercolors over it, without disturb main tones undernith but be sure underpainting is completely dry <TIP.- it is easy to conform fine lines in watercolor, after apply the paint onto the paper and make those with a toothpick.- try it >
color is less intense when it dries, so after these stages I apply again the fixer and add another layer above, however the paint retains much of the translucency.- ideal for the butterfly wings for the darker zones I mix 1:1 White gouche and White watercolor to also reproduce granular effects and make a kind of clear color but bright wash
Now the new technic; with a lime I make watercolor dust (powder) of a silver color pan and add above the painting after take away the masking to cover all the wings to do so , previously I sprayed wáter on the wings so the color will settle down on it
The appearance will be totally improved with this step
Lets wait for dry and make final touches -- basically highlights
