The butterfly is a symbol of life: delicate and colorful

The butterfly can be just as beautiful on canvas as it is in real life. It has inspired millions of artists around the world. This delicate, ephemeral creature delights in each and every color of nature. Butterflies are a powerful, deep representation of life.

They are associated with the soul in many cultures. Christianity sees these “flying flowers” as a symbol of metamorphosis, transformation, and resurrection. They represent hope, change, and endurance across the globe.

It is no surprise they have been the centerpiece of many historical paintings. Drawing them requires a specific gradient and pigment, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be a challenge.

The short life of the butterfly

The butterfly is the most colorful and beautiful insect ever. It undergoes an awe-inspiring metamorphosis, symbolizing spring and summer, the seasons of hope and rebirth.

The first stage of the butterfly is the egg, followed by the larva, which is sheltered in a cocoon. The next stage is the caterpillar, and the final one – the adult. Adult butterflies can fly like birds using their colorful and symmetrical wings.

Nature is truly the most talented artist – a glimpse of the amazing wing patterns will prove it. The life of the butterfly is ephemeral, as most of them live for ten days maximum, even if they can live up to 1 year. This confers the charming insect a mystical aura, a symbol of its fleeting life.
