As well as adding visual interest to the piece, it can make your artwork extra informative and interesting from a nature perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, one of the most common pollinators is the Honey Bee. Worldwide, Honey Bees are responsible for 80% of pollination, and researchers believe that a single honey bee can visit up to 5,000 flowers in a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They live in fascinating colonies with highly organised social structures. And when they find a good food source, they perform a \u2018waggle dance\u2019 to their fellow worker bees, so the others know the direction and distance to fly so they too can find the food source.<\/span><\/p>\n

So in this mini class, we\u2019re going to paint a small watercolor bee to celebrate these hard working insects on whom we depend so much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The version we\u2019re painting here is small, so you can fit it into a bigger composition. Because it\u2019s so little, you can paint it in a short time, and I\u2019ll lead you through it step-by-step.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
