PROJECT EIGHT

LADYBUG

Image

Painting a living creature, such as a ladybug, is challenging for any artist. You want to create the impression that it could fly away at any moment, so the subject needs to be drawn and painted with natural-looking proportions and lifelike colors. As you paint, concentrate on the lines, blending your paints, and thinking about the subject as a living thing. This will infuse your image with energy.
