I just finished my little beetle (bug, not sure what type) he is sitting on a lupin leaf enjoying the sun. I glazed over the background and leaves again using ultra blue and a blue green for the leaves (yellow green for front leaves). Finished off the leaves and the beetle and added some cad yellow light on the sunlit areas.

Beautiful! I love how his shape almost mimics the lupin leaves.
Thank you Shelia, I am pleased with this. It is hard to really see sometimes on the computer especially with greens i find, it looks much better in real life!
Happy Painting!
Krista
The blue glazing in the final stage just MAKES it! Gorgeous painting and your other work is also super!

Very nicely painted, Krista! Wonderful work on the leaves and the brilliant red of the bug(looks like some type of soldier beetle to me, which are one of the 'good guys' in the garden)is like a little added gem.
