Bee on White Cosmos

11x14 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper begun yesterday and finished today. The busy bee was hard to get its transparent wings to look paper thin so I did use a tiny amount of white gouache on the left wing tip. I put together a combo from my cosmos and insects refs for this garden and nature painting.

#InkTober day 14 ~ Bee

5x8 watercolor and ink using Micron 01 pen on sketchbook paper that is today's contribution for #InkTober.  In this annual October challenge, artists worldwide commit to doing one work per day using some type of ink.  Since a buzzing insect caught my eye today I decided the bee would be an #InkTober subject for illustrated journaling.
