Braided Woman with a Monkey, Butterflies and Hummingbird Necklace

A woman looks straight out from the center of the page with a calm, serious expression. Her hair is braided and pinned up on top of her head, with two small butterflies resting in it. A furry monkey sits on her left shoulder with one hand raised to its mouth, and a small animal with pointed ears peeks over her right shoulder. Around her neck, long vine-like branches wrap and trail down over her shirt, and a little bird with spread wings hangs from them like a pendant. Big veined leaves fill the background. Try soft greens and yellows for the leaves, then keep the butterflies and bird in bright colors so they pop. It also works well for a conversation about how artists use plants and animals to build a mood. The printable is a good fit for older kids who like detail.
