Nothing is more beautiful than butterflies and flowers; it's hard to go wrong with that combination, isn't it? Butterflies are beautiful, colourful and delicate
At first, using high-quality Winsor & Newton professional watercolour paints, we will paint a pale background wash. We do this by combining different colours and using wet-on-wet technique. Then we will work on the beautiful Tiger Swallowtail butterfly using wet-on-dry technique. We will use Permanent Rose colour to paint the Echinacea bright pink petals, and by adding yellow we will shape the disc florets. We mix the blue and yellow to make green colour for the leaves and stems. Because the butterfly and the larger flower are the focal point, we paint them very precisely. The other two flowers are out of focus so we paint them in less detail.

She exhibits her artworks regularly throughout the year. Recent awards are:
  • a Highly Commended in the 2022 WSQ Annual Exhibition
  • a First Prize in the 2020 The Australian Watercolour Muster
