Sweet Nectarine Branch & Busy Bee Portrait

Fun Fact

Did you know that nectarines are actually a type of peach, but without the fuzzy skin? They both belong to the same species, Prunus persica, but nectarines have a special gene that makes their skin smooth and shiny!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Nectarine Glow - Use soft, even strokes for the nectarines, blending shades of yellow, orange, and a touch of red to create a smooth, ripe appearance.
2. 2🖍️ Delicate Blossoms - For the tiny nectarine flowers, try light pinks, whites, or very pale yellows. Use a light hand to keep them looking fragile and airy.
3. 3✨ Busy Bee Stripes - Give the friendly bee fluffy yellow and black stripes. You can add a tiny bit of shimmer or light blue to its delicate wings to make them almost transparent.
4. 4🌈 Intricate Leaves - Vary your greens for the leaves! Use darker greens for the shaded areas and lighter, brighter greens for the parts catching the light, carefully outlining the veins.
