’Red-headed azalea caterpillars + caterpillar nuggets on pale olive, by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/6452705): Full-paint brushstrokes on dry paper created these smart red heads. My entry in the ‘Skillshare Whimsical Watercolor Insects’ Challenge. © Su Schaefer 2017 These smart red-headed azalea caterpillars with their attractive stripes (and dotty poo nuggets) are safely captured in a surface design. The brief was to "get inspired by your favorite backyard bugs (...or at least maybe just the ones that don't totally freak you out!)" which I thought was sensitive since I really don't think I could do spiders or cockroaches. This is the photograph that I used to identify them as azalea caterpillars (https://www.flickr.com/photos/66403770@N06/33769147594)and was my inspiration. See more ‘watercolor’ designs by Su_G.
