Camouflaged to stay safe, this dragonfly is still very beautiful. The artist focused on the earth tones and reflective colors often seen in dragonflies, with a mix of bright and subdued color. You will see the delicate nature in the upper wing because the artist drew in the vein structure underneath the dominant overtone colors.
The artist uses capiz shell to represent the translucent nature of the wing. In the lower wing the artist shaped the tin frame to the vein structure to demonstrate the hardy nature of this dragonfly, again under the overtone of the dominant brown colors.
