Greetings from Mrs. Chaplin! 

For December, we will paint a turtle dove. Here are links to the outline and the reference photo for you to print.

It’s best to print onto 8.5 x 11 watercolor or mixed media paper (If your watercolor paper is too large, you can cut it down). A second option is to layer a blank piece of watercolor paper over the image, hold them both up on a bright window, and trace onto the watercolor paper. Please have your image ready, your watercolors, a fine tip brush and a thicker brush, a Micron fine tip pen, a few paper towels, and a cup of water ready to go when the class begins. If you'd like a border around your final painting, you can use masking tape or blue painters tape to achieve this look like Mrs. Chaplin.

Please remember that this event is very popular and many…
