Colouring ideas

Because the wings mirror each other, colour one side and then copy it onto the other for a neat, balanced finish. A blend from deep blue near the body to pale turquoise at the wing edges works well.

Did you know?

Butterfly wings are covered in tiny overlapping scales, which give them their colours and patterns.

Try this

Colour the left wings in warm colours and the right wings in cool colours, then see which side you like best.
