Be careful not to over-work the delicate lines in the wings, as these are the most prone to blowout if the depth is inconsistent.
The bold structural lines will hold their integrity well over a decade, but the fine stippling in the bee's body and flower centers will gradually soften and blur into a more solid grey gradient. To prevent the wing details from becoming a smudge, the negative space within the wing segments must be preserved during application.
