This shell was created using four colours and white, in gouache, a medium that I have never used before. It was done this morning in art class and the teacher wanted us to produce something "quickly". I tell you that, in the hope that it's many imperfections may be excused!

They are both amazing, very effective. The restricted palette works well for this subject. I'd be interested to know how long you spent on each one. In the first one I particularly like the colours with the pink background and your brush strokes are lovely and loose. The white edging all round it makes it look rather flat though. This you have resolved in the second one, which looks more 3D. It's beautiful in fact. Great work.
ReplyDeleteProbably spent about fifteen minutes on the first and about ten minutes on the second but it could have been slightly longer, as time just goes! I agree with you about the white line on the first. It was part of the teachers instructions, which I followed too literally, without appraising my own work and adapting as I go along.
