Some sea shell sketches…
I enjoyed painting these. I used Daniel Smith and Winsor & Newton watercolours. I tried out some new paper to paint them on – The Langton Prestige by Daler-Rowney, 100% cotton. I bought a 12″ x 9″ gummed pad, 140 lb Rough. As a person who’s a bit fussy about my watercolour paper, I have to say that I’m very impressed with this paper. It’s strong, good quality paper, and reasonably priced…
Before painting my sea shells I tested out some colours first…
This is a great way of testing colours for sea shells and pebbles etc.
I love seeing all these colours together and I can see at a glance whether they are right or not. Most of these beach treasures have quite an assortment of different colours in them, when you examine them closely.
I’m off now to see what else I feel like painting…
Love the seashells. Great way to test colors. They make such a difference.
Thank you Sandy… !
These are lovely! Makes me want to pull out my own shells and at least do some drawing. And that paper sounds like something I would like as well. (K)
Thank you Kerfe! DO get your shells out and draw them! The paper is lovely…
Love the seashells! Thank you for the paper recommendation. I’ll have to check in out.
Thank you Patty Anne. The paper is brilliant, not cheap but less expensive than the market leaders…
Beautiful
Thank you… !
Most welcome
