Eventually got time to try this today. I stuck pretty closely to the video but I was sitting in the garden doing this without the video much of the time.

Fabulous job on both that thistle AND bee. You really captured the the essence of the prickly stickly little hairs on both images. I especially like the super fine ones protruding from the stem . . . those are the ones that usually ended up embedded in my fingertips because I'd forget they were there . . . .

Just perfect....thistle and bee. Sometimes, I do better not to look at the video continuously...just run through and go. Then, other times I do look at the steps.

Wow! This is gorgeous! I imagine it was lovely sitting in your garden painting. Your really achieved dimension on our thistle, it looks prickly! Your bee looks fabulous!
