This is the video we are using: You can paint loose or tight style. I chose tight. I would love to do the loose sometime.
I sketched and watercolored the thistle according to the video. I painted the wings of the bee with a washed out black and yellow and also used a white gel pen on the wings with a fineline pen for the wing detail.
Next, I added a wash of Wisteria and Serpentine Genuine around the thistle. Added the sentiment and finished.
Hope you come along and join us this week.

Great bee Sitting on a Thistle. It reminds me of some nursery rhyme or song about sister Susie sitting on a thistle. Be she would be surprised if the bee were there at the same time. I love the BG and the purple mat.
