Finally finished this one! The majority of the time spent was on the individual flowers for each feather/page of the wings. I really love the look of old botanical books with the water color paintings and the scientific names written in cursive. So I spent way too many hours painting out 20 of these flower pages, and even then, it wasn't enough for the wings so I did have to duplicate some.
Here are the 20 flowers! I had a blast and might paint more flower studies in the future~ The HD image of Atlas Botanicus, and all 20 HD flower studies without watermark will be DMed on May 5th, along with the hours long video recording of how I painted everything. For a short 1 minute time-lapse of my process, download the attachment below :)
