How to Draw Butterflies

I love to play with color, and two of the best subjects for creative use of color are butterflies and flowers. So this week on the blog, we’re featuring some tutorials on how to draw butterflies.

Since many of these tutorials are in black and white, your children can have some fun coloring their butterflies and making them beautiful.

I hope you’ll get out your art supplies and draw along with some of these artists.
