PAINT A BEE THE EASY WAY

Описание: Today I'm going to show you how to paint a bee the easy way. This step-by-step bee tutorial is all about having fun with watercolour - even if you're a beginner.

I have simplified the process - botanical art the easy way - You can have access to the free trace down drawing and reference photograph - you can find these in our Facebook Group - details further down in the description.

I am working on mixed media paper today because I truly believe that it makes the blending process so much easier - particularly so if you are new to watercolour painting and we will be covering both wet in wet and wet in dry watercolour application methods - I will show you in easy to follow steps how to create a painting that you can be proud of, using my 'learn as you paint' technique.

Painting should be fun and accessible to everyone - this is one of the reasons you will hear me say 'use what you have' in many of my tutorials - I don't want you to buy a ton of new paint to paint along with me - you can usually find what you need within the paints that you have.

Here is how I trace down my drawings:
