Artists and Scientists over the years have been intrigue by the beautiful Monarch butterfly and have included them and other butterflies in many of their paintings.

The Monarch butterfly is one of the most recognizable and well studied butterflies on the planet. Its orange wings are laced with black lines and bordered with white dots.

Simple art materials used are watercolor paints and black sharpies to create your own butterfly. My sweet artists created these in a 2- 45 minute session.
