this was terrific. I always start the video thinking , "I can never do this!" But by the end I am always surprised at the results.

[@olgakoelsch]

I am very happy to hear that! Keep going! 🎨🎨🎨🤗🤗🤗

[@sharonvannoygach3724]

Olga, thank you for your calm way of presenting the techniques. Im a heavier type if painter but i love to watch you paint especially when im winding down for the evening. Your whole aura is inspiring and im grateful to you.

[@olgakoelsch]

Thank you so much for your kindness! 🤗🤗🤗

[@allisonthor8224]

Ty for explaining why you do things…. Such as saying petals and wings are more delicate on the edge and thicker near body. It helps me to understand how you are painting.

[@olgakoelsch]

I am glad it was helpful!💙

[@jlofurno59]

I love how precise yet fluid your fine lines are. This is beautiful!

[@olgakoelsch]

Thank you! Cheers!🤗💙

[@beckyaaland6776]

I love the way you have created the light shining through the wings! I was starting to think I needed to clean up my palettes (once a month or so) but now I’m hesitating. Thank you for sharing!!!❤

[@olgakoelsch]

You are so welcome!💙🤗

[@Oly_Mackrel]

I am so excited, I got your book today! By the way, I just love your art and I love your voice!

Olga, I love your paintings. They are beautiful! Would you be able to share what butterfly book you are using during this tutorial?

[@PSALM139GODISLOVE]

Actually I just saw you have it in the description

[@olgakoelsch]

Sure! There is a link in the description (materials)

[@wandasimons3305]

Hi, Olga. The other day I realized that I have not seen any of your videos lately. I don’t know what is up with KZbin but I just did a search and found this current video. Your painting is beautiful as usual!! Do you ever paint miniatures?

[@olgakoelsch]

Oh thank you! It might something with the algorithm 🤦‍♀️ I am not good at miniatures I think, love some space 😅

[@vickie3382]

Hi Olga Have you tried maybe a grouping of transparent pumpkins?

[@olgakoelsch]

Not yet🤗

[@jobjehaaijman1871]

What a great butterfly. Thank you so much for sharing. In the text below the video you mention that you use hot pressed 100% cotton paper and the link goes to Hahnemuhle Harmony paper. However the Harmony paper is a acid free cellulose paper. Is this indeed the paper that you use? In a way that would be great, because it is much more affordable then 100% cotton....

[@olgakoelsch]

You are absolutely right! It’s a cellulose paper, of course. It’s a bit trickier that cotton but pleasant to paint when it’s not so many layers

[@vickie3382]

I am still hoping you will paint a transparent poinsettia flower. So that I can work on it before Christmas

[@olgakoelsch]

I already have it ! 🎄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGO3hXuaeLd5r5osi=YUqVvXFVYU_T34JE

[@vickie3382]

@@olgakoelsch oh I didn’t see that thank you for the link very cool

[@annalamaq3917]

So beautiful 😍 What brend of brushes did you used to paint it ? Thank you

[@olgakoelsch]

This are Borcianie Bonazzi (I added a link in the description)

[@veronicahodges6610]

Thanks I love to follow along with you at times. A gorgeous painting. I find that you talk too softly for me to hear you even with my hearing aids and air pods in. I cannot quite understand what you are saying. I know it is hard to talk and paint but you need to try not to whisper so much. At the start of your video you are clear and direct. Keep it up 😊 🦋

[@olgakoelsch]

Good point!

[@dalemoyer]

Beautiful
