I blended the colors using a clear Prismacolor blender pencil. Then I used a fine point Sharpie to darken and sharpen the outline of the butterfly. I find if I used Microns after the colored pencils, the bees wax tends to clog the tips. If the Sharpie gets clogged, I roll the tip from side to side until the ink comes back through.
Thanks for taking time to walk with me through the process of creating one of my pieces from start to finish! Have a GREAT day!

This is stunning! Such lovely colors and so much detail. It reminds me of a beautiful mosaic tile.
Thank you for sharing :)

Loved watching this "unfold." I was predicting jewel tones of fuchsia and purple, but your choice of more subdued hues is excellent! (of course!) I love his air of contentment!
OK - I'm ready for the next one! :)
I came over at the suggestion of Tera. She's right, I love it here. I haven't found the cloud art she mentioned, but I love what you have been posting this week.
