This is a painting that I did with watercolor, I started out with the hexagon design and then started to paint lightest to darkest. I really tried to not destroy my highlight cause I always make it too dark and then there is no highlight, which is no fun.
Rhythm is always the obvious principle of design since it is just a hexagon repeated over and over again. Contrast is another principle with the contrast between the dark and light colors. I tried to add depth in the shadows and with the walls of the honeycomb.
I was just trying to further my watercolor skills and get more realistic in my paintings. I think so far this has been my best attempt at honeycombs, I really took my time on it and I think it really paid off in the end.
I like how this turned out, I'm really satisfied with it, I think it looks detailed which is what I wanted. I still think it can be improved even more and one day I hope to achieve getting as realistic with the honeycomb as I possibly can.
