Welcome to Stinky's Art Class. We have the best students in the world. Todays lesson is how to paint a bee.
Good morning people and welcome to Stinky's Art Class where we have the best students in the world! Today's lesson is how to paint a bee.

Okay, I think this is going to be a great lesson today, so let's jump right in. First thing you want to do when you're drawing a bee is you want to draw the body. Okay and the bees have big round bodies, like that. Okay and then you want to draw the bee's wings. So, the bees got big wings. So, you gotta draw the bee's wings and let's see. Then we gotta put another bee wing right here.
Okay, got two wings and then we gotta draw the head. So, you want to do the head. Well, let's do the eyes. First, bees got big eyes. Okay so, we're doing the eyes. Then, we got to do the head and bee's got a big round head. So, we'll do the big round head and the bee's got an antenna, so we'll do the antennas.
Okay and then they got a stinger. So, we gotta do the stinger. Okay now, let's go ahead and add some more paint because this is looking kind of like Stinky's getting low on paint, huh? So, we're going to add some more in here. Looking real good.
Stinky has a lot of work to do on the painting. And the bee's got a stripe. Okay and let's see, let's get those bees. They got black eyes. Okay, let's get a little bit more paint on those eyes. It's not easy painting. If anybody's thinking about starting to try to become an artist, but they just kind of don't know if they want to try it or not, you just gotta start. That's the hardest part. You just got to pick up a pencil or pick up a paintbrush.
He's got to do something to get going. It's like Stinky, he had a hard time getting started. And I just said forget it. I'm just gonna get some cardboard because it's everywhere on the streets. And Stinky just got it and started drawing on the cardboard with his black marker. It's real easy. Then, Stinky found some paint in a dumpster, so he decided he's gonna start painting too. I wasn't sure if the cardboard would work, but it's working great.
I don't have a lot of colors and bees are usually yellow, but this bee's gonna have to be green or white. So, let's go ahead and let's add some color to this bee. I think his head should be white, so let's go ahead and put some white in there. It's gonna be a white bee. Oh, that didn't turn out like I thought.
Well, let's keep going. Let's color the whole bee. It's going to be white. And we'll just see how it goes. Gotta add some white on the body. This would normally be yellow. I gotta find some yellow paint. Okay and the wings are gonna be white too.
Okay, don't get bored on me. It's not just gonna be a totally white bee. We're just getting the main colors in here. Once we get the main colors, then we're going to add a couple of surprises. So, you need to watch to the end, okay?
Don't cut out of class early. We're moving along. These paintings take a lot longer than drawings. I'm painting in all the details. Okay, we got the white bee. What do you think class? Should we go ahead and add some green in? I think so.
Let's give this bee some green in his wings. It's gonna be a green bee. You ever seen one of those? Are they down in the Amazon? Yep, they are. You just don't know it because you've never been. And we'll give them some shading. See how we do that? You mix in the colors and then it gives it a lifelike look. Very lifelike now.
If you go down to the Amazon and you see one of these bees, better run away. Then see them stingers. Stingers are awfully nasty. Let's go ahead and give this stinger a little bit more black. Okay class, these eyeballs are looking kind of strange. So, let's go ahead and let's help them out a little bit. I'm just kind of dabbing it in.
Yep, there we go. All right, put a little bit of black in there. Oh, I forgot the bee has got to be smiling. There we go. And go ahead and put a little bit of a green antennas right there. Okay class, fantastic idea. Let's get this green paint off the thing. Let's see, this could either make it or break it. Oh, how'd that look? Okay, not quite sure. Let's try that again. Sometimes when you're painting, you just got to keep trying. Don't be afraid to try something new. Stinky tried something new on these eyeballs.
