Love this painting! Can’t wait to try it. Is there a reference picture for this one we could use? Thank you so much!

Hi, Do you have tutorials or templates for the drawing part. My 11 year old son is eager to paint this bumble 🐝. Thank you.

Hi Melissa, I have just added the line drawing for the bee to this post incase this helps him! I have also created a couple of videos of techniques I use to sketch the outline onto the canvas. There's the tracing technique (you can use either a screen or a printed image for this) here's the link to the tutorial: https://youtu.be/tRiES5zEd-Y There's also the grid method (you can either print the reference image and then draw the grid on manually, which is what I do in the video. Or if you have an iPad etc. you can add the grid to the image digitally) Here's the link for this tutorial: https://youtu.be/8drKVyN2ZO0 If he's working on a small canvas then I'd recommend the tracing technique as it's really simple. But the grid technique is a great one to practice as you can scale it up to any size you want. I hope this helps! Rachel x
