STEPS
The overall concept chosen for this canvas was based on the exact pattern and tone in the butterfly’s wing. First, the hair was cut and then pre-lightened to a very pale yellow and then toned to the ultimate softness of a sensual blonde color. The butterfly palette of tones served as the focal point...a stunning spectrum of refined colors that gave perfect detail to the canvas. The strong haircut was just as progressive -- softly shattered internally with a very structured outline. The result is a pattern of nature reproduced with a radical approach to hair design.

The overall concept chosen for this canvas was based on the model’s look and natural base color of the model. The dramatic color tones and smudges in the wings where perfect to translate into the hair canvas. The use of the colors below created a marbled fusion of colors that are vivid and bold like the butterfly’s wings. The haircut only made the impact more dynamic -- on the external structure of the design, with the finessed touches of texture, shape, strength and polish.

The overall concept chosen for this canvas was based on the model’s beautiful dark eyes, natural base color and her strong bone structure. First, the hair was evened out and pre-lightened to under tones of pale yellow and very pale yellow. Next, shades were selected to illuminate the canvas with an iridescent spectrum of light like the butterfly’s wings when light shines on them. The haircut only underscored the elegant, yet edgy result -- a modern geometric shape with signature pieces of texture like the tips of the butterfly’s wings.
