Paint a shimmering Morpho butterfly, from South America, in watercolours and metallic blue pencil.
Before you start
From your art pack use the watercolour paper with no. 4 written on the back. Stretch it first on your board, and let the tape dry for at least half an hour before starting. From your pack you will also be using the siena ink pen and the metallic blue pencil. You will be painting in watercolours, and have to hand some kitchen roll, a table covering and a hairdryer to dry between washes.
