Shells

Pretty shells in watercolour......

Sometimes, it is just enjoyable to sit and draw a simple still life.  I collected these shells on a trip to the coast and thought they would be useful in practicing with water colour (the most difficult medium in the world, in my opinion!). I'm not totally dissatisfied with these, mainly because I think it is obvious they are shells.  The shell at the top has taken on a bit of a muddy quality but the big white shell on the left and green shells are not too bad!
