My client gave me this card and asked me to create a composition based on the flower/butterfly graphics.
I first mixed in the colors for the purple background my client wanted, then drew the graphic motifs with black grease pencil, went over with white pastels, only to realize that the black was not going to be easily cleaned at the end. So I had to wash away all the black lines, and lost most of the white drawing. I used the second drawing as a basis for the painting.

SketchBloom is great I go there all the time (prompted by your FaceBook posts. Mind you, it’s not the flowers and butterfiles but it is the eclectic mix that is here. Very strong in architectural / design theory and representation and very interesting in everything else. Great work Miti!
