At this time of year, while out walking, there is plenty of inspiration from he natural world. While out, I have also seen a few bumble bees! These lumbering, fluffy insects that go about their business, finding the flowers to satisfy their search for nectar.
When I returned home, I wanted to try my hand at creating a bee on a nail swatch. This wasn’t as easy as I thought it might be! I didn’t want to paint a cartoon version, I wanted my bee to represent a proper portly bumble.
I placed him against a pale pink background, and painted him by hand using a watercolour effect. It was fun, and I learned a lot about how the gel colours can be manipulated for different effects.
Have a look, what do you think?
