Description
I had only cheap, thin paper, and a set of acrylic paints, and I really wanted to paint. The result: the first of experiments with the watercolor technique... using acrylics.
I think I like the overall effect, but I still have to learn how to use acrylics lightly for this technique. Then again, maybe opaque areas can be part of my style, I'll see!
Credits to for the model, and for the cape gooseberry references!

Amazing wing detail! She can definitely blend in any tree, the perfect camouflage!

Fantastic texture. The rendering is simply exquisite.
Having her on a white background is a bit disappointing though. There needs to be some sort of context to establish personality, or even to further highlight her beauty. Even a basic base color with some minimal texture would be fine.
Keep up the good work!
