Calligraphy, Sketches & Demonstration Painting

Calligraphy

The kanji characters below represent nanohana (rapeseed) for those who want to practice their calligraphy.

Sketches

Here is a relatively simple nanohana sketch for practice.

Demonstration Painting

Here is my demonstration painting. The colors of the butterflies were chosen to complement the color of the nanohana blossoms, especially the purple butterfly.
