Prep Instructions:
1. Use a #2 pencil to trace the outer edge of the lampshade. Do not cut out the shape until you are completely finished with the painting.

2. Carefully transfer everything on the pattern onto the watercolor paper using the blue chacopaper and your stylus. Note: you may use regular grey graphite, but the lines are more difficult to erase. While doing the butterflies, transfer only the lines for the wing patterns as shown on the main pattern.
