Instructions
Paint an abstract background with watercolor.
While it is drying, fold a paper in half and draw one side of a butterfly. Then cut it. When you unfold it, you will have a template to trace onto the watercolor background. Draw at least three designs on each wing and then use a sharpie to outline and fill in the shapes for good contrast. You may also use black watercolor.
