Butterfly Shadows

I have been quietly working on an old canvas I had done a background on some time ago. I have picked it up and created a flight of butterflies on it, painting their silhouettes. I know they don't look like much yet. The canvas was originally done in oils, so I need to keep with that, and oils take longer to dry for me to move to the next step.

So, right now the canvas with their shadows looks very dark. But when they get their little colored highlights, I think it will brighten up ! Stay tuned, for more on the weekend !
