- At last make three small oval shape for stones some distance away from vertical lines and upon horizontal line and make one oval shape at small distance from these shapes .Now on this oval shape make a sketch of butterfly looks like hovering over this stone shape are shown in picture.
- Now we are going to paint these sketches ,first of all take black colour(add flow improver) and use it in oval shapes and butterfly by using different size of brushes.
- While painting , take special care of the pressure on the brush and keep the pressure low as per usage.
- Now take blue colour and make it light with use of white colour and paint the butterfly using small round brush ,on wings make small spots of white colour very light hands using small brush.
- Again using black colour paint the bamboo shape,using black and green mix colour paint the middle part of bamboo and paint the left part of bamboo using lemon yellow colour , the colour blend in such a manner the brightness increasing from right to left and colours region does not indentify different.
- Now take green and black colour and paint the branches and leaves as seen in picture , take small amount of white colour and make horizontal lines in bamboo shapes
- Now take white and blue colour and mix it ,using a angle brush make shading on stone with very low pressure.
Step 5 - ( Final finishing )
