Head Over Heels for You

This painting is done on Richeson's Premier Board. The inspiration came from my bees collecting pollen on a Lowquat tree. Using several reference photos, I finalized the composition, and using a grid and prospek I sketched it on the board. Then I blocked in the shapes with Creatacolor and washed them in with denatured alcohol. After it dried, i began defining the darkest to lightest shapes and working from there layering the pastels to further define the shapes until it was finished with the final highlights.
