What you'll do
Sketch Your Insect
Lightly sketch your chosen insect onto watercolour paper using a pencil. Focus on the basic body shapes, wing outlines, and proportions. Keep lines light so they won't show through paint.
Add Oil Pastel Details
Add oil pastel details. Using oil pastels, draw over the outline, adding bold patterns and vibrant markings.
Apply Watercolour Washes
Use the resist effect where oil pastels repel watercolour for striking results. Mix soft, translucent watercolour washes and apply them to the wings and body. Let each layer dry fully before adding more colour.
Finishing Touches
Use a fine brush and dark watercolour to add contrast. Wait for the paint to dry. Add metallic pen or glitter paint details.
- The Magic of Resistance: Discover the captivating interaction between oil and water by outlining your insect with vivid oil pastels and painting over it with radiant watercolours.
- Shapes & Symmetry: Master the art of drawing insect anatomy through simple, step-by-step instructions using fundamental shapes.

Your teacher
Hi, I'm Georgina Derby. I'm a qualified art teacher with years of experience teaching Art lessons. I founded The Fauve Palette to bring painting into social, inspiring spaces. I personally curate and lead every workshop. We take our name from the Fauves—the early 20th-century 'wild beast' painters like Henri Matisse who broke all the rules and embraced bold, unapologetic colour to paint for the pure joy of it. We are here to help you unlock your creativity, play with colour, and enjoy a creative social experience. Painting is a form of active mindfulness - a chance to slow down, unplug and enjoy the creative process. There are no mistakes in our studio, only happy accidents. We hope you’ll leave our sessions not just with a finished canvas, but with an inspired mind and a recharged spirit.
