Best Paint Colors For a Monarch Butterfly
Monarch butterflies have a distinctive sectioned pattern on their wings.
Those sections are colored with a vibrant orange and are bordered with black.
Finally, the wing borders are detailed with white spots around the border.
Any black, white, orange acrylic paint you might get your hands on is going to work.
I did a mix of 4/5 parts cadmium red to 1 part cadmium yellow.
it’s possible for you to adjust the ratio to get the vibrancy of orange you like best.
Paint 2 coats of the orange and yellow to make the butterfly wings look more opaque and vibrant.
Once youve filled in the sections then fill in the border with black paint.
Essential everywhere we filled in with the pencil in the drawing step.
