When I shared the video clip on Tina's channel, I never realized how extensive her animal clips were! I do know she's very athletic and spends loads of time outside, but wow, I discovered so much variety! Thanks and art-nature hugs, Anne Marie 🥰🤗
How beautiful! Love butterflies! One year, we 'raised' a dozen of butterflies from tiny caterpillars to gorgeous painted ladies, it was so fun watching them change through their life stages. Lovely channel, new subscriber! 😊👍🔔
How exciting! Painted ladies are gorgeous and found in almost every country of the world (lol, I did research a long time ago one them!) but wow, I never saw any butterfly fully undergo its metamorphosis. That's such a memory to treasure! Thank you, Red Maple, for sharing that! I think next year I might be more proactive about watching for cocoons so I can have a similar experience!! 🤗👍🤗
You always have the perfect color palette! And you sure do know how to make those contrasts pop! 🤩 Great example to appreciate how the colors blend with wet on wet and make those crisp lines with wet on dry! The butterfly turned out really gorgeous Cheryl! 🥰😍🤗
The only reason I like watercolor ever so slightly more than acrylics is because of the wet on wet process! The color transitions just come out so much smoother and dreamier! Thanks, Koy! You sure make someone feel like a queen of the brush 😂 Looking forward to you next exploration into color and design too! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much my friend for this beautiful painting of the Machaon, Papilio machaon, with a very nice background that I like. Thank you with all my heart for taking one of my pictures that became art and advertising my RUclips site 😀 you are lovely my friend from far away 😘 bisous, have great sunny day
You know, Tina, somehow I thought that you did primarily birds when I started advertising your channel, but as I made the clip, I realized what a wealth of animal life you've shared! So very many and that fox kit you posted early on captured my interest immediately. All this activity really reflects your very athletic nature! I'm so impressed, and I'm so thankful you share your art. I hope even a few of my viewers will venture over and enjoy your "art" too! It's really incredible! Hugs to you, dear Tina! I hope your weekend is fabulous!!! 🥰🤩🤗
It better not flutter away. I worked too long in capturing its wings - LOL! Thanks, Paul! You should be getting mail soon. Loads happening and no time for the private messages, but it will happen. Art hugs, Paul!!! 🥰🤩🥰🦋🦋
@@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta Oh was it that long ago you painted the butterfly? Nine months and it went by so fast and you were in South Korea and Covid came and locked you down in that tiny hotel room and you ate one candy a day and painted a tiger I think and a beautiful snow leopard and Christmas cards on the 12 days and next thing you know you are back in the states getting poison ivy and building birdhouses. I really appreciate the friendship we formed, even though we've never met in person, I think you are a super cool person. I do hope to meet someday and go to the beach. Maybe you will paint that too. Happy Nine Month Friendaversary.😂😂😂
I find it incredible that you created such a beautiful painting with just 5 colours - I also like how you started the butterfly with the wet on wet technique - would never have thought of doing that !! It turned out really well !! 🦋
Thanks, Spectrum, really appreciate your comments!! ! I think the wet on wet method is my favorite for starting a painting so I can get those soft fuzzy background and kind of road map where the bigger details will be. It's this soft painting layer that tips the scales for watercolor being slightly more exciting than acrylics 🥰🥰
You are really a master of the wet techniques ! The butterfly is awesome but first at all love the vegetation and flowers foreground . Bravo for this brilliant demonstration Cheryl !
Many thanks, Robert, and lol, the flower garden effect is much like your building of sets .... layers and layers and layers, and each one making me happier 😂 Appreciate your great comments, my friend 🤗
LOL, I always manage to get a bit of crookedness in the antennaes (my hand does not always paint my intentions 😋 I am my worst critic 😆) but if I painted with Denzel Washington mirror exactness, life would be too boring ... or too controlled! Art hugs, Annie! Hope your weekend is dryer than mine! 🥰🥰
I like how you usually give a short introduction about the animal ( insect) you will be painting its kind of documentation very informative… And i enjoy the magic of water 💦 carrying pigment and how it spread all over creating instant shapes and layers its just satisfying to watch and wet on dry to define hard edges that’s so useful as a technique… i keep learning from every painting Managing all the contrasts its really fun as it appears Keep your good work Terracotta
I've always seen you paint with acrylics but wow, you've soaked up the key thoughts for managing the lovely spread and effects of watercolor! Many thanks, On Art, for your great support and wonderful comments! I hope your week is filled with spiritual moments with the paintbrush!!! 🥰🤩🥰
Dear my friend Your butterfly painting is so wonderful, beautiful, and fantastic. I've painted butterflies a few times, but the way you painted them is new to me. Next time I paint a butterfly, I want to draw it in your own way. The part I was particularly interested in this time was how to paint the background. It goes well with the butterfly and highlights it. I want to learn how you painted well and use it next time. Thank you for the painting 🖼 😊 ✨ ☺
What I really love about watercolor is there are so many ways to paint and so many outcomes, and each of us has a beautiful method! You have a soft emotional touch with the paints but I think mine is more matter-of-fact ... LOL, as if our painting is a psychological study! It's so fun to learn from each other and to adapt certain features into our own style. It'll be fun to see how we paint in a year compared to today .... because our watercolor journeys will always be evolving!!! Warm hugs and thank you for such a beautiful comment! 🤗🥰👍
Absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰 That swallowtail just pops! Love the texture and the layers and layers of flowers. The layering brings such depth to this beautiful painting. The orange paint at the end just brings such warmth and life to finish. Sooooo beautiful Cheryl And as always your editing is exquisite 😊🙏🖼🎨💜
Appreciate you great comments, Deirdre, and lol, you always comment about color. We both love it and are sensitive to its many moods! I didn't plan that orange but the teals were getting too monotonous, but I'll say I never expected the tiny hints barely visible when just glancing to make such a difference! Tucking that delightful learning tidbit away! I'll def be using it again! Art hugs, dear friend 🥰🤩🥰
That is one swell butterfly! (a swell-o-tail swallowtail, LOL!) LOVE it and so happy to wake up and see this 1st thing in the morning. Thank you so much for sharing something so beautiful with the world. Art hugs!
LOL, so now the question, is it a dovetail too or just a swallowtail and the dovetail is something different?!? LOL, tried to find out a boat load of info on this and got bogged down on its labeling, and so we'll just call it a swell-o-tail swallowtail and be very very happy! 😂👍 Thanks Sherry and huge warm weekend Art Hugs to you!!!! 🥰🤩🥰
Hello Cheryl, I love butterflies and yours is definitely a beauty ! 😍😍I am always surprised when you paint the background after you paint the animal as for me it would be the obvious choice to mask out the butterfly and then be able to spatter and splash all around the paper not paying attention on the delicate wings or that they bleed out onto the background. Maybe that is because I am messy and your accurracy and patience is so admirable that watching you everything seema so easy. And for me your color choice is always perfect , these five colors are so harmonious and create so much depth and intensity, it's definitely eye candy! Have a beautiful sunday Cheryl, big artsy hug, 🤗🤗🤗🤗Erika
Hi Erika, and I so agree that masking out the butterflies would be the best way to go, but I'm trying to use up this @#$&*# paper. Oh boy, insider notes here! 😅 The cheaper Fabriano Acquarello is pretty good but it's flaw that I struggle with is I can't get the masking fluid out after I paint ... thankfully an easy work around is to paint the butterfly first and then carefully add in the background. Takes longer but no residual bits of masking are left where the white of the paper is supposed to be. I sheet left, and wheee, then I'll work with better paper 🤩🤩 !! I think paper is the most important material for watercolors (oh, there's an active discussion which is best -- paper, paints or brushes) but no matter if my paints are stellar, if the paper isn't quality, then the results will be quite shabby. I feel like I'm on a soapbox, LOL, so I'll stop blabbing 😋, but warm thanks for noticing the details! Hope your week, Erika, is super awesome! Great big art hugs 🥰🥰🥰 Cheryl
Wow Dariia! It's so good to see you again and thank you so much for stopping in and smiling!!! I so hope you're back to upload regularly again. I absolutely love your art 🥰🥰
I almost made this one a Docupaint as there's so much to say about the swallowtail, but I kind of got frustrated on one big point. It seems that the dovetail and the swallowtail are the same and those are location names. I couldn't find any scientific reference to a dovetail but that term tends to be used by photographers posting their work. Interesting .... and decided not to go down the rabbit hole of information on the "dovetail"?/swallowtail. If you ever come across something definitive, drop me a line! Thanks for great comments, Donna! 🥰
@@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta interesting - I had never heard of the Swallowtails being called Dovetails. Interesting how different names for the same things develop.
That's totally a stunning painting 😊. I really loved it. It looks exactly like the reference photo . So realistic butterfly. The video presentation is also superb 👍. Big like. Have a wonderful weekend. ☺️
Many thanks, Wonders! The voice over and the special effects take a bit of time but I'm always satisfied with the presentation at least when I finish! Warm smile for your great comments, my friend! 🥰🤗
What a great tutorial for this swallowtail butterfly 🦋 such a beautiful specimen to be painting! Your teaching technique is perfect for beginners and also for the more advanced artist, there’s always something to learn in this awesome 🤩 channel! Thank you so much Cheryl! I appreciate the lesson 🦋😘🤍💙
Hugs to you, Donna, and may butterflies kiss your cheeks all week! 🥰🥰 I learned a lot doing research on this and then decided not to make it a docupaint, although that sure would be fun! Here's the best bit of trivia I found -- the caterpillars eat and cr*p and eat and cr*p but once they're butterflies, they sip and nothing comes out! That must make them spiritual beings 😄🤩😂 OK, I think I better get some sleep 🤣
@@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta somewhere I have a few beautiful photos of the swallowtail…The Natural History Museum has a butterfly pavilion that I used to take the kids to every year and I loved taking butterfly photos 🦋 I’m sure they are tucked away safely on some removable hard drive and never the Twain shall meet 🤣😊😆
Very warm thanks, Mathy! It's amazing how one green, one blue and one yellow can make so many different shades of green! Really appreciate your comment 🤗🤗🤗
This is wonderful ! You are a fantastic artist & you ‘teacher-side’ definitely shines through in the what you explain what you’re doing. I will certainly be checking out a bunch more of your videos, thank you for sharing your talent/skill! ❤
Thank you, Michael, and really do appreciate the teacher-side comment. I LOVE teaching, lol, maybe even more than creating (as if that's possible?!?!) Really appreciate your kind remarks! 🥰
