Donna you are so right about the color of shells and have picked some nice ones for your palette above. What I like also is to look inside some shells and discover the many iridescent colors that could work in an accessories kind of play or in accent areas such as art niches and tray ceilings. I have even used them in my marbling, wood graining, faux metals and yes even in my wall art and mural work. Its amazing what these little jewels of the sea can teach you about color after all nature is what educates artists in the first place don’t you think?
Hi Art! It’s was a nice surprise seeing you here this morning! Isn’t it surprising all the colors you can find in just one handful of shells? My favorite is the Abalone shell – talk about color! Thanks for commenting!
