Capturing Carpenter Bees in Watercolour

November 28, 2023

In creating this artwork of a carpenter bee, I uncovered the fascinating world of these intelligent insects. Living within wood, they skillfully manage their nest entrances to keep unwanted visitors out.

Executed on high-quality watercolour paper, I employed the wet-on-wet technique for a fluid background. Adding details on dry paper enhanced the realism, showcasing the bee's intricate features.

This painting not only captures the visual beauty but also offers a glimpse into the clever nature of carpenter bees. Through this artistic process, I've gained a deeper appreciation for the wonders of nature.
