Using a thin paint brush and Mod Podge, go over the painted parts of the flowers and butterflies trying to avoid the Sharpie outlines as the black ink might smear onto the colored paints.

below to get pictures from your computer that can easily be downloaded into a
word processing document and resized to fit on your canvas (a rock perhaps?)</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><script async="" crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8145814351891509"></script></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">1. Go to your
computers search engine (I use Google) and type what you would like to find a
picture of into the search bar.</span></p>

</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2. In this
example, I will be searching for a <b>"</b></span><b style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://amzn.to/2C3Olgi"><span style="text-decoration-line: none;">hummingbird</span></a></span></b><b style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> (but you can
type in whatever you would like, perhaps "<a href="https://amzn.to/2BANjZm"><span style="text-decoration-line: none;">garden flowers</span></a>").
So type 'hummingbird' into the search bar <b>(see picture below...)</b></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">3. Hit <b>'Enter'. </b>Next<b>, </b>directly
underneath the search box or somewhere on the page depending on what search
engine you use, you should see a list of choices, they are: Web,
Shopping, Images, Videos, News, More<b>. Select "Images" from
the menu below by left clicking with your mouse on your search screen...</b></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span>4. You will
see many pictures of </span><span><a href="https://amzn.to/3yOeWqe">hummingbirds</a></span><span> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">appear. Scroll down until
you see one you would like to use for your project.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">5. Using your
mouse, hover over your selected picture and</span><b style="font-size: 12pt;"> 'Left click' </b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">once on
the picture to make it larger (you should see the picture you selected pop up
larger somewhere on your screen).</span></span></p>

your mouse, move to hover over the larger version of your selected image
and </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">'Right click' </b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">on it (refer to the picture directly below
this paragraph). Select </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">'<u>Save Image As</u>'</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> from the

You should
now have a new window pop up and at the bottom of the screen you should
see <b>two long white rectangular boxes,</b> one will be asking
you <b>where</b> you want to save the picture, and the other <b>how </b>you
want to save your picture...</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">8. The answer
to <b>'Where'</b> is<b> 'Desktop'</b> and you should rename
it <b>'</b></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><u><a href="https://amzn.to/2VYRIiM">hummingbird</a></u></span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">'</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> in the white box, erasing the
computer given name of letters and numbers that it was assigned automatically
by backspacing over them and typing in "Hummingbird". The
answer to <b>'How' </b>is as a '<b>JPEG' </b>(bottom rectangular
box)<b>.</b></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">9. Now go to your <b>Desktop</b> to locate your
picture under the name you saved it to, in this case
"Hummingbird". Open the picture by hitting the <b>'Left
click'</b> button on your mouse while hovering over the picture file on
your Desktop. When the file opens up, <b>'Right click'</b> while
hovering over the picture and in the box that pops up select <b>'Copy' or
'Copy Image'.</b></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Delius;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">10. Directly after hitting <b>'Copy' or 'Copy Image'</b> in
the step above exit out of where you have the picture saved. In
another window, open up a blank word processing document. <b> 'Right
click'</b> in the blank word document file. Select <b>'Paste'</b>.
Your image should appear! It should look something like this...</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
