Learn to Paint a Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary in Watercolour, with my Step by Step Downloadable PDF Tutorial
This species of Fritillary can be found in grassy habitats, woodlands and moorlands, and generally favours slightly damper conditions. Its caterpillars feed on Violets, usually Common Dog Violets and Marsh Violets. Its name comes from the row of ‘pearls’, which can be seen along the outside edge of the underside of the hindwing. Sadly, this delightful little butterfly has undergone severe declines in England, but remains widespread in Scotland and Wales.
This is an intermediate project, with a few elements involved, including the Bluebell flower that the butterfly is perched on. As I always say, take your time, work through the project in stages, begin with the background, work on the butterfly and then focus on the flower. Breaking a project down like this makes it much more manageable, and will encourage you to take plenty of breaks.
This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting the Fritillary in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 31-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.
Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.
Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
