Draw & Paint Watercolor seashells using simple techniques

[@dreamalamb4259]

Diane Antone of France mentioned you this morning. Said you were one of 2 KZbin watercolorists that got her started. Where she is now is her own channel... Loved your work and your attitude for painting in watercolor.

Just came to the seashore so I enjoyed watching you paint some seashells. Your painting turned out so beautiful. I think the long black shell is an oyster shell. We find them all the time on the New Jersey shore beach. Thanks for sharing this great tutorial, Ellen! 🎨🏖️

@@ellencrimitrent I think the iridescent one is a pen shell (a saltwater clam).

I hope you made sure that the conchs didn’t have little beings living in them, you have to check! They are so beautiful

Ellen I love your KZbin tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent. I love this tutorial of the seashells especially. I’m going to give it a go to frame for my children. Being so new to painting, I struggle with proper etiquette on signing my work. Would you mind sharing your thoughts? Do you sign in pencil or watercolor paint? When you make prints of your paintings that have been signed, do you then number each print using the same medium you signed in? I’m so afraid I’ll do this incorrectly. Am I overthinking it? Perhaps it’s personal preference. Thank you so much again! Your paintings are beautiful!❤

[@marielouisedavidson4834]

Thanks!

[@ellencrimitrent]

wow thank you!

Sunday Venus clam

That one you didn't know what was, is a broken piece of abalone shell.
