Welcome to Stinky's Art Class. We have the best students in the world. Todays lesson is how to draw a butterfly.
Good morning people and welcome to Stinky's Art Class where we have the best students in the world! Today's lesson is how to paint a butterfly.

Okay, this is my third painting lesson. Let's jump right in. First thing you need to do when you're painting that butterfly is you need to get the body. You need to get the body just right. Okay so, let's go ahead and let's make this body just right. That's the caterpillar part of the body.
Okay, then what we want to do is we want to get the top wings. So, we grab some paint on our brush and we go ahead. And we think of how this wing is going to look and it's looking pretty good. Stinky's liking it so far. Then you want to do another matching wing right here.
Okay, once you got two wings, you gotta do two more. So, go ahead and do that one. Now, you got to be thinking in your brain like what is this butterfly going to be doing? What's it going to be looking like? What color is it? The butterfly antennas. And give him his eyes.
I gotta say to all you painters out there, you have some good talent because this painting business is not easy. Okay, all right class, now if this is your first lesson that you're watching, think he only got a few colors he found in the dumpster. So, we gotta make do with what we got. That's just a life lesson. You just make do with what you got. But hey, let me back that up. Endless possibilities in life. Okay, endless possibilities, that's all I gotta say. There's no limit to what you can achieve.
Okay, has anyone ever seen a green butterfly? I don't think so, those are the rare ones. Okay, so let's give him some green wings. He likes to blend in with the trees and let's go ahead and give them some white. I think I like it. Oh, Stinky's mixing colors. Stinky likes the white butterfly a little bit too.
Let's give this butterfly some green and white. Let's get some more white. Stinky likes the white color. Okay and let's go ahead and get these wings going too. Think he likes the white butterfly a lot. Okay so, in life you're gonna have endless possibilities. You gotta just believe in yourself and everything will work out the way it's supposed to.
If you want to be a famous artist and you want to sell paintings like the old masters, like Van Gogh. He sells his paintings for like hundreds of millions of dollars and he was just a regular old artist, but people love his art. And so, Van Gogh believed in his art. Okay so, that's what I want you as students to do. I want you to believe in your art. Okay, believe in yourself because you can achieve whatever you want to achieve. Because I believe in you.
Since I've been talking to you, teaching you some art lessons, I've been learning a lot about how amazing all my students are. My students are very amazing. Okay, I only got two paint brushes, so I'm having to figure this out as I go. Let's go ahead and give him his eyeballs. Got white eyeballs and let's give them green.
How's it looking class? I think it looks pretty good. Let's go ahead and give him another green dot. Another green dot and another green dot. I think that's looking pretty good. Now, I got this little mess in the corner. I didn't realize I was doing that, so let's go ahead and let's make this look like land or something. It's flying up in the sky.
Oh class, I just had an idea to put a cloud in there, but I think I'll have to save that for another lesson. Okay class, what do you think? How's the painting coming? How's Stinky's painting class coming along? I think it's looking pretty good. Let's fix this. There we go, sorry about that class. Is that better? Does that look good?
Okay, thank you everybody for coming to Stinky's Art Class. Hope you had a good day today learning how to paint the butterfly. I know these painting lessons are long, so I gotta say to all the painters in the class, wow y'all are amazing. So, keep up the good work and stay tuned for another epic lesson.
