Sweet Nectarine Branch: A Bee's Delight

Fun Fact

Did you know nectarines are very similar to peaches, but they have smooth skin instead of fuzzy skin? Bees help them grow by carrying pollen from flower to flower, which is why this little bee is so important!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Fruit Smoothness - Use light, even strokes to give the nectarines their smooth, blush appearance. Try layering a pale yellow with hints of red or orange to create a realistic glow.
2. 2🖍️ Intricate Leaves - Pay close attention to the veins and textures of the leaves. Use varying shades of green, perhaps a darker green for shadows and a lighter green for highlights, to make them look dimensional.
3. 3✨ Delicate Blossoms - The nectarine blossoms can be soft white, pale pink, or even a very light yellow. Use gentle shading to give them depth without overwhelming their delicate nature.
4. 4🌈 Busy Bee Details - For the friendly bee, use yellows and blacks, but don't forget its fuzzy texture! Small, short strokes can help create that furry look, and a tiny bit of blue or gray can add shine to its wings.
