A wide butterfly holds the middle of this sheet with its wings fully spread and almost perfectly matched left to right. Each forewing splits into a row of long rectangular panels that stack toward the outer edge, a pattern standing in for the clear patches the real insect is named after. The hindwings open into broad fans, ribbed with straight rays that reach a scalloped border. Four sprigs of leafy vine occupy the corners and curl inward along the sides, leaving the middle clear.
Count on this one taking a while. The panels are narrow and there are many of them, so a sharpened pencil will serve better than a marker.
That panel structure is an invitation to work in ranks. Color the innermost band one shade, the next band a step lighter, and continue outward until the wing edge is nearly white. Keep the corner vines in greens that sit well away from whatever you choose for the wings, so the frame stays a frame.
