I don’t know about you, but painting anything beach related immediately brings a sense of calm. Maybe it’s because I grew up by the ocean, or maybe it’s innate and has this effect on everyone.
Combine this with the relaxing art of painting watercolor, and this session is bound to drop your shoulders a notch or two, because today we’re painting a seashell using watercolor brushes.
And don’t worry if you don’t have access to a beach nearby for your reference photos. I’ll show you where you can find a huge range of professional images you are free to use without copyright (even for commercial projects!).

WATCH THE FREE WORKSHOP???? We’ll start by bringing in some textured paper to set the scene for our painting
