Lovely details and use of colour in this leaf beetle Heather

Accurate enough to describe the beetle, yet not so detailed as to be a scientific study - so you've got a far more interesting painting as a result. And unusual - how many of us paint beetles? Just don't start on spiders - I have a bit of a problem with spiders.......

You've really captured the iridescent colouring of this beetle Heather. A very well executed detailed painting which I imagine is difficult to achieve in watercolour!

Beautiful colours and amazing detail, great painting Heather

Robert got to this before me and has said what I think! This is a lovely painting with life and humour I think!

I love this subjet too! When we care to look there's so much going on at our feet; you've done him/her justice.

I agree with the above comments Heather, it's a lovely watercolour.

Thanks very much for the encouraging comments, I really enjoyed doing this and think I might try some further insect paintings, can't promise to avoid spiders Robert, in fact I might try one especially for you!

Congratulations on being chosen for the month - well deserved!

Congratulations on this painting being chosen for the month of January :-)

From a photo of course. I loved the colours and the iridescence.
