The Southeuropean swallowtail is one of my favorite butterflies 🦋 😍 Theres no host plants for it here, but sometimes when the winds are strong, some make it all the way up here.

#The100dayproject 11/100 The Purple Hairstreak (Blåhale) is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae very common in most of Europe. They are active little butterflies that are most often seen fluttering around high up in oak trees on warm sunny July and early August days. It is the males that have the glossy purple sheen on the upper side. Females only have two patches of purple on the forewings. #100daysofbutterflies #100daysofpainting #100daysofpaintingbutterflies #butterfly #noerthernblue #idasbluebutterfly #illustration #dailyart #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorbutterfly #art #savethebutterflies #thebutterflymovement #sommerfugl #sommerfuglebevægelsen #butterflies #watercolorbutterflies #PurpleHairstreak #Blåhale #purple

#The100dayproject 8/100 Polyommatus amandus, also more commonly known as Amanda's blue, (Isblåfug) is one of the larger of the blue butterflies. The upper side of the male's wings is a silvery blue or sky blue with a broad dark border around. Amanda's blue is native to much of central and northern Europe. Its habitat is meadows, heaths, grassland, roadsides and other open areas and places where the larval food plants grow. I have never seen one of these myself, but I would love to. I am so fascinated by how something nature made can be so stunningly blue #100daysofbutterflies #100daysofpainting #100daysofpaintingbutterflies #butterfly #noerthernblue #idasbluebutterfly #illustration #dailyart #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorbutterfly #art #savethebutterflies #thebutterflymovement #sommerfugl #sommerfuglebevægelsen #butterflies #watercolorbutterflies #grønbusksommerfugl #busksommerfugl #greenhairstreak (at Vejle, Denmark)

#The100dayproject 4/10 The female scarce copper (Dukat sommerfugl) is an orange brown creature with beautiful markings in her wings. They lay their eggs on dried-out plants like sorrel stems. In fact they are some of the only butterflies that lay eggs that last all though winter. In the next season small nocturnal green caterpillars eat the sorrel and eventually become butterflies themselves. It is a beautiful circle. #100daysofbutterflies #100daysofpainting #100daysofpaintingbutterflies #butterfly #noerthernblue #idasbluebutterfly #illustration #dailyart #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorbutterfly #art #savethebutterflies #thebutterflymovement #sommerfugl #sommerfuglebevægelsen #scarcecopper #dukatsommerfugl #caterpillar #circleoflife (at Vejle, Denmark)

#the100dayproject 1/100 The Peacock Butterfly (Dagpåfugleøje) is a beautiful butterfly found in Europe and temperate Asia. Did you know that this butterfly hibernates over winter before laying its eggs in early spring, in batches of up to 400 at a time? It relies like many other butterflies on common nettle for nesting. Help preserve the butterflies by preserving their habitats 💚 #100daysofbutterflies #100daysofpainting #100daysofpaintingbutterflies #butterfly #peacockbutterfly #illustration #dailyart #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorbutterfly #art #savethebutterflies #thebutterflymovement #dagpåfugleøje #sommerfugl #sommerfuglebevægelsen (at Vejle, Denmark)

🦋 It is April 3rd today and it is the grand beginning of #the100dayproject for artists all over the world. I won’t have time to do one every day for the next 100 days, but I will attempt to do the project over half a year instead. I want to do something that will help me improve my artistic skills, but also something that focuses on something important. I am a volunteer In the PR department of the butterfly movement here in Denmark, focusing on spreading awareness of the importance of insects such as butterflies for the well-being of ecosystems across the world. What a great opportunity to join two things that matter to me. Join me as I make 100 small watercolor paintings of butterflies and share the findings of the Danish butterfly movement over the next half a year 🦋 #the100dayproject #100daysofbutterflypainting #100daysofbutterflies #100daysofpainting #dailyart #dailypainting #illustration #butterflies #butterfly #watercolorbutterfly #savethebutterflies #thebutterflymovement #sommerfuglebevægelsen #watercolor #painting #butterflyart #butterflydesign (at Vejle, Denmark)
