Padró’s Sketchbook introduces a welcome burst of joyful colors to the winter season. “Initially I visualized a monarch butterfly and their flight to Mexico, but I decided to take liberties with the color palette to push the visual realm,” she tells Zócalo.

Gouache is Padró’s primary medium. For this migration series, she scanned and digitally edited her gouache illustrations to create final vignettes that fly off the page.

The post Butterfly Vacation appeared first on Zócalo Public Square.
