我做的第一件事和这幅画是要拍很多照片我的女儿与蝴蝶和决定哪一个我想要使用。
我选择这一个,因为她看起来好像她有风在她的头发和蝴蝶似乎符合最好的她脸颊上。
我画的基本布局和开始阻塞在颜色。
我用绿色的背景。我做了两层。第一个是一个打火机,第二个更薄的覆盖,暗釉相同的颜色,我在分层塑料包装给它一些纹理。然后我昏倒了蝴蝶,开始在肤色。
当我做各种肤色,我结合使用了红色和黄色连同白色得到我想要的颜色。然后我用釉料得到确切的肤色。我也开始在汗衫,我确实在一个黑暗的红色和绿色混合。
接下来我开始阻塞在头发。我用我最喜欢的颜色之一,被称为二氢喹吖啶镍偶氮黄金。它可以是一个非常透明的黄色颜色当应用轻轻在釉,或一个更暗橙色颜色如果使用满员。我也用棕色和棕土颜料的着色和得到我想要的整体颜色。
我继续在头发上通过添加阴影和股使她的头发看起来是流动的。
当我做的时候,我用生赭树荫和白色的突出和黄金音调都添加黄色的脸,头发。大约就在这个时候,我也开始阴影在的褶皱的衬衫。我用深浅不同的灰色对于这个
我添加了黑色的星星和细纹的衬衫。我想要她们看起来很平坦,几乎画在因为这是质量的衬衫。
接下来这是蝴蝶。我离开了黑色的背景,因为蝴蝶看起来橙黑色背景上。这是很容易做到的,整个事情黑第一,然后添加橙子和白人进入它。
一旦完成,我的蝴蝶添加阴影的脸颊,然后软化后翅有釉,使它看起来要追溯到前翼。
最后我做的事是一些阴影笼罩在她的脸让它更加的3 d外观和遮荫的衬衫在下巴。
原文如下：
The first thing I did with this painting is to take a lot of pictures of my daughter with the butterfly and decide which one I wanted to use.
I picked this one because she looked as if she had the wind in her hair and the butterfly seemed to fit best on her cheek.
I drew out the basic layout and started blocking in colors.
I used green for the background. I did it in two layers. The first was a lighter covering and the second a thinner, darker glaze of the same color which I layered plastic wrap on to give it some texture. I then blacked out the butterfly and started on the skin tones.
When I do various skin tones, I use a combination of red and yellow along with white to get the color that I want. Then I use glazes to get the exact skin tone. I also started on the undershirt which I did in a dark red and green mixture.
Next I started blocking in the hair. I used one of my favorite colors which is called Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold. It can be a very transparent yellow color when applied lightly in a glaze, or a much darker orange color if used full strength. I also used brown and raw umber for shading and to get the overall color I wanted.
I continued on the hair by adding shading and strands to make her hair look like it was flowing.
As I went, I used raw umber to shade and white to highlight and the gold to add yellow tones to both the face and hair. About this time I also started shading in the folds of her shirt. I used different shades of gray for this
I added the the black stars and lines on the shirt. I wanted them to look very flat and almost drawn on because that is the quality that the shirt had.
Next it was time for the butterfly. I left the black background on it because the the butterfly looks orange on a black background. It was easier to do the whole thing black first and then add the oranges and whites into it.
Once the butterfly was done I added the shadow on the cheek and then softened the back wing with a glaze to make it seem to be further back than the front wing.
The last thing I did was to darken some of the shadows on her face to give it a more 3D look and to shade the shirt under the chin.
