Description
Bees in the Wild Daisies, Neon Digital Art, by Conni Schaftenaar.
I added honey bees from colored pencil drawings (also on my gallery) and digital bee art I've done. The base image is my Wild daisies drawn in ink with touches of watercolor, also on my gallery. I'm adding some bee images in preparation for the August 2022 celebration of the 1-year anniversary of The ARTIST BUZzz group.
Drawn from a photo I took of wild daisies years ago on my farm, I used an Elegant Writer Calligraphy pen (black, fine point) to draw the daisies and grasses, then used water to "activate" the ink edges, leaving the petals white. I then used touches of gamboge and some green watercolor to define the flower centers and some stems.

Gorgeous digital art! Thanks so much for sharing in the BUZzz, Conni! Love the glowing palette and the reminder that our BUZzz group isn’t that far down the road …time to think about some BUZzz worthy artistry; August will “bee” here before you know it!
