Peacock Butterfly & Buddleia Davidii 'Pink Delight’ - Preview

Happy spring! Here in the UK we just celebrated the first proper day of spring and to celebrate it I am showing you my process for painting a Peacock butterfly on a small section of pink Buddleia.

I love painting butterflies and they make a beautiful accompaniment to flower studies, in particular when added to their preferred plants.

Everything is little on this painting so maybe it will suit those stretched for painting time.

We cover the colours and techniques I use plus a little calligraphy to embellish.

Happy planting, painting and perfecting.
