Watercolor Conch Seashell Step by Step Painting Tutorial for Beginners

[@alexyscloran5188]

I painted along with you, and I'm really impressed with how mine came out! Thank you so much for making sketching so simple! I've never been great at drawing, but the way you broke it into different shapes and then went back in to define the edges was extremely helpful!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

I’m so glad it was easy to follow and you loved your results! 🙂

[@saltlifegull4091]

OMG love it! THrow that paint girl!!

[@lovelace1843]

I really really really like how you’re starting to point out the shapes you’re seeing and being more detailed as you walk through your sketches. I’m trying to improve my sketching skills but I rarely see this covered in watercolor videos and it’s hard for me to try to fit in a full class that’s designed for folks who want to learn how to draw. Thank you so much!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

My pleasure! Glad it’s helpful!

[@nanettehoefly7936]

Oh my, I tried this with a friend today and even though we started out a little shaky, they both turned out so good. Thank you😁

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

I'm so glad!

[@SheilaEvans-ff7uq]

[@lynnephelps2370]

I loved this lesson. I've been trying to paint shells but never getting the color to look the way I wanted. Listening to your thought process on selecting/mixing the colors was so helpful!

[@anjum3928]

[@maryrjfitz]

I love your painting technique and I adore your nails. What colors / brand do you have on?

[@arulpanachooran4038]

I have recently started water color painting.Will you upload a video for beginners. Subscriber from India

[@maryalgar8779]

Great result. Thanks for info on that white - hadn't heard of it before. Do you erase your pencil lines after all dry?

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Yes, I do sometimes erase pencil marks after the painting is dry. It's just a matter of personal preference. :)

[@maryrivell4777]

The word may look like conch but it is pronounced conk. Love the tutorial.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Oh wow I never knew that!

[@dianeresnick2756]

Do you have a traceable of this shell online at all? I am just beginning at watercolor and I can NOT draw at all. I would really like to try this tutorial but need a drawing to follow! Thank you!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

The line drawing is included with my online membership, but you can also trace directly from a photo printed out. :)

[@andreakopp]

i just tried this one, but I am too self concious to post it.... but anyway, what is the "official" hashtag to post the paintings made following your tutorial on Instagram ? thanks

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

I don't have an official hashtag, (yet!) but you can tag me @e_olson_art!

[@LulluNatic]

Nice painting and I like Cotman student grade but I wonder why you didn't soften the hard graphite marks. 🤔

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

I did erase them after filming. I don't normally draw so dark, but I needed it to be visible for the video. :)

[@sharoncoffman1920]

I love your painting of the shell. Just keep in mind that the shell is pronounced “conk.”

[@DMountains]
