This watercolor took many hours and many layers of paint to complete. It starts with just 2 colors, burnt sienna and cobalt blue. The paper is covered with puddles that are then dripped off. This is done at least three time until the right background color is achieved. Then a composition of real shells are placed on the paper and the outside edges are traced. The paint is removed within the seashell shape, back to white paper. The the shells are painstakingly replicated. Once the shadows are added the piece is finished.
