That is the question! I stuck to watercolor and oil pastels only for this one. I decided to add the white flowers over the darker watercolor, the white actually stands out pretty good. This was done while I was away at a friends house and had limited art supplies on hand.
So, the “bee” in this painting looked really good at one point, then I over worked it and messed it up. It is difficult to stop fixing it, some times you have to let it be and remember, ‘There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.’ The important thing is to try and try again, after all, ‘We know what we are, but know not what we may be.’ Sorry, I’m trying to be cute and clever here, sometimes things seem better in my head than in reality! 😁
If you like bees, or just just interesting articles, check out this Close up Portraits of Bees I just read on Colossal!
I hope you are all having a great week! Stay creative, stay positive, stay alive!😊🌼🐝🌞
