Seashell's Dream

Seashell's Dream

8x8 inches, oil on panel

Just finished this little painting today after working on it on and off over the last month or 2 between other projects. I painted it over about 7 sessions. It developed a bit differently from my usual process for still life, because instead of doing a drawing first I just jumped in with a color oil sketch the first day, and just kept adding refinement and detail each session.

Really beautiful piece Sadie, I love the light reflecting off the shell, it really seems to have that pearlescent quality that shells like that have.

That's just good! I like the reflection in the bottle, especially in the neck.
