🐚 Pastel Shell Doodles: Step by step Watercolor Tutorial

[@mrittikajoya4038]

I just feel like I am on the beach ...loved the shells.

[@Nianiani]

I miss the beach 🥺

[@manusharma2423]

It literally felt like you collected the sea shells and then pasted them, How artistic and realistic you are!?

[@Nianiani]

hahahaha that sounds fun too xD

[@susananthony2084]

Fun tutorial! I love your designs and how you added detail to the shells. I think the gold circles are really pretty too.

[@Vrenny]

This was wonderful. And I REALLY appreciate that you didn't edit out your mistakes- you left them, explained what you didn't like about them, and how to change them. Really helps us learn. Thank you!

[@Nianiani]

No worries! Glad it helps!

[@pinkypotterplanning6305]

So majestic…….I love it!!!!🌊💙💙💙

[@Nianiani]

Thank you! :D:D

[@violetstarburst256]

I LOVE how this piece came together! The "gross" starfish came out really pretty once you applied the white details. The rainbow sea urchin looks like a skein of yarn I'd totally get. The lovely colors you chose for all the clams, and the shadow pops! That was a good choice. Especially the sharp short lines at the very end.

[@allthumbs3792]

Beautiful colors and shell shapes!

[@Nianiani]

Thank you!

[@angelinababithaanil]

Love those shells

[@Nianiani]

thanks!

[@emilywait3542]

This was so relaxing to watch. I can't wait to try it! Thank you.

[@Nianiani]

Have fun!

[@sherrysilvestrini7799]

Stunning! Thank you so much.

[@jenniferreynolds3232]

The shadow is everything! It really makes everything pop!! I would have never thought that adding a simple element would change a composition so much! Your 'gross' starfish turned out beautiful too. You have a great eye for color!!

[@Nianiani]

yeaa! I thought it looked too flat xD glad I made that decision in the end

[@vwood2]

Yes, suddenly it’s a shallow sea bottom, with bubbles catching golden sunlight.

[@TracyIndy]

Beautiful!!!!. I buy colors that I like, but don't necessarily have a purpose for them. Never fear. Nia comes to save the day and shows us what to do. Great layout, color combinations, and detail. I love how you made all those colors work so well together. Thank you. I look forward to working on this project. 👍🎨 Stay safe Nia.💖

[@Nianiani]

haha yeaa I just wanted to play with colours for this one, esp with the colours you gave me! :D so glad that this could be useful for you as well! Hope you're doing well and staying safe and healthy! ^_^ ❤️

[@TracyIndy]

@@Nianiani I knew these paints were put in the right hands. You will do them justice. 🎨 We're doing well here, but staying super vigilant. I'm watching Indonesia's numbers go up and I worry about you.😷 We have hotspots in different states and I'm so ready for this to be over. Keep up the awesome work. 💓

[@Nianiani]

@@TracyIndy Yea the delta variant is getting out of hands here in Indo. We recently lost a church member last week from Covid. I'm glad that you're doing well, but it's always safer to not let your guard down. Yea.. agree!! Would be nice to be able to go out again... hugsss

[@TracyIndy]

@@Nianiani Im so sorry for your loss. 💔 we just had 2 close friends survive Covid at home, but we were worried daily for them. They are fine now thank goodness as it was mild for both of them. Hugs Nia💖

[@Nianiani]

@@TracyIndy Thanks, Tracy. I'm not close to this person, but they're a friend of my parents. I'm so glad your friends survived covid!! That's a big relief! Hugss!!

Hi Nia! One of my favorite doodles, love the color choices! Today I felt like binge re-watching older videos of yours, ones I watched when I first discovered your channel. I also watched your really old videos, like your DIY notebooks. Cute and clever =) So I thought I’d comment here since I didn’t leave a comment before. See ya on Friday!

[@claudiaacciolyconstantinid9023]

[@dhowell9000]

Just Beautiful! And so helpful! I will treasure this one!!

[@Nianiani]

So happy you enjoyed it! :D:D

[@urban_fox4658]

Beautiful choice of color palette! I love the blues with the burnt sienna! And Moonglow.... perfect with the Potter's Pink as Moonglow spreads, granulates and has tints of pink and purple in it. The gold circles were a beautiful, striking contrast and the shadows were the perfect touch!

[@Nianiani]

woww thanks!

[@su7047]

Wow. These doodles look wonderful 🤩

[@butacrafts]

My current obsession is the metallic paints! Nothing some “blings” can’t fix! Haha. Great idea adding the shadows. It really brought the entire piece together. The starfish did look scary initially but it sure looks great when it’s all done and dressed up! 😍

[@Nianiani]

Yesssshhh Love the metalics too :p haha

[@marybirder5663]

Your shells turned out amazing, but I like anything related to the sea and shore. I just happen to have Potter's Pink by W/N, because it works well for painting old buildings/stucco. It's an obscure color, and for those who don't have it on hand I believe by mixing some shell pink or a touch of a light rose color with Buff Titanium may be able to duplicate Potter's Pink. I can't wait to try and paint these beautiful shells!

[@Nianiani]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! :D:D it really is an interesting colour isn't it! with the granulation especially, I thought that it'd look good as textures on the shell :p
