Jumpstart Level 2: Black Butterfly

Have you ever tried black paper? Find out why so many artists love it. Using colored pencils on black paper is very different from working on white paper, but in many ways, it's much easier. You'll learn how to let the color of the paper work for you to save time and effort.

Your first step in creating this sweet butterfly scene is with a white pencil to establish your lightest lights. Then move to increasingly darker colors as you create realistic leaves, fuzzy textures and this lovely black-on-black butterfly.

It couldn't be simpler and more satisfying and you have Sonja's expert instruction to guide you in eight simple steps.

In almost no time you'll confidently create this lovely drawing, all ready to gift or display!
