"SCIENTIFIC SEASHELL STUDIES" SERIES
This project was requested by a client wanting a series of watercolor seashells. I selected a variety of species for their shape and color variations. Each individual image was then paired with it's common name, scientific name, attributed discoverer, and year of discovery to give it more authentic vintage style.

Materials used include:
Winsor & Newton watercolors
Arches cold press watercolor paper
Canon Pixma scanner
Adobe Photoshop
Prints made on Canson 300gsm cold press watercolor paper
Printed on Canon Pro-10 with archival ink
Scallop shell in watercolor
Above l to r: oyster, urchin, and whelk
In addition, the paintings were printed as blank notecards, offered as set one design or the entire collection of 12. The are printed on white Savoy 100% cotton 180lb cardstock, paired with matching baronial envelopes, and arrive in a slate grey box.
