Painting Seashells...

Painting seashells in watercolor.is a lot like painting blobs.

You lay down a pool of water on your paper.

And then start dropping in the colors,
preferably a warm color and a cool color.

 

You get to play with the positive and negative shapes.

The more blurry the patches, the better.

I like to think of watercolor this way-

The water is the tide washing in and out.

And the granules of paint pigment are the sand

that gets pushed around by the tide.

Painting seashells is just as much fun as playing on the beach.

Play is the operative word here...
