sweet honeycomb

finishing details

Once the bees are printed and the paint is dry, details can be added to the abdomen and thorax using either paint or pastels:

• Yellow highlights will emphasis the striped pattern of the abdomen.
• A very light veil of white will help the bees wings to contrast with the honeycomb background.
• Yellow or gold tickled into the fuzzy thorax will help the image to appear more solid.
