After the initial drawing and first thin wash of color,
I begin to add the darker values and brighter colors.
I use Arches 90 lb hot press watercolor paper and mount it on Art Board.
If I don't first mount the paper, I have to stretch it while I paint in order to keep it from getting wrinkled.
Mounting is much easier!

oh Michelle, your butterflies are just beautiful. I love the soft green in the one you showed above. Watercolor is such a challenging medium for me (a bit of a control freak). Makes me appreciate your work even more
