As if set in a glittering amber jewel, this honey bee is waiting for you to give it to your favorite Valentine. You will transfer your “string” or contour drawing using a provided template onto a 7.5x7.5 -inch 140-lb. hot press watercolor paper or comparable multi-media paper. After we “tangle” the image, one step at a time, (add the patterns) we will shade our inked drawing with graphite pencil. On day two, we will use watercolor pencils to glaze over this “underpainting,” layering until we reach the rich saturation pictured here. Finally, we will “add some love” by cleaning up lines, and adding some glitz with gold and pearlescent paints. Please download the files provided upon purchase within 30 days at which time they will expire. Note: This class was inspired by CZT Midori Furuhashi's Beetle Zia class I took.
