Razor Shells
, watercolour, 51⁄2x7in. (14x18cm). As you can see in this shell study, I did not use any of my composition sketches (far right) as a basis for the final work. I decided to arrange them in a row as if they were in a display case. To increase the impact I slightly exaggerated the colours. Watercolour was a good medium for this subject.
