Flourished Butterflies

Homework Hashtag: #kcaflourishedbutterflies

Whether you want to add an illustrative element to your calligraphic work or just bring your flourishes to practice, Flourished Butterflies are a great way to do both. In this class, I will show you how to design a flourished butterfly and we will touch on different approaches for these illustrations. You will learn how to develop your very own collection of flourishes and how to combine them. By the end of this class, you’ll be able to create your own flourished butterflies and to add them to your work.
