🐚 Pastel Shell Doodles: Step by step Watercolor Tutorial

Hi guys! I've been wanting to play with colours, so I thought about painting colourful pastel shells, this one is a fun one where you can customise easily and play with colours due to the very simple shapes. You can also add pen/ink doodles on top if you'd like and personalise your doodles! Enjoy the video and happy painting! :D:D

Hi! I've known YOU for about 2 years, and when I have seen your works, they look like those of magazines, and now I see you with SKILLSHARE!!! You have evolved a lot! TFS

Fun tutorial! I love your designs and how you added detail to the shells. I think the gold circles are really pretty too.

I LOVE how this piece came together! The "gross" starfish came out really pretty once you applied the white details. The rainbow sea urchin looks like a skein of yarn I'd totally get. The lovely colors you chose for all the clams, and the shadow pops! That was a good choice. Especially the sharp short lines at the very end.

This was wonderful. And I REALLY appreciate that you didn't edit out your mistakes- you left them, explained what you didn't like about them, and how to change them. Really helps us learn. Thank you!

I just feel like I am on the beach ...loved the shells.

[manusharma]

It literally felt like you collected the sea shells and then pasted them,
How artistic and realistic you are!?

[jenniferreynolds]

The shadow is everything! It really makes everything pop!! I would have never thought that adding a simple element would change a composition so much! Your 'gross' starfish turned out beautiful too. You have a great eye for color!!

Beautiful!!!!. I buy colors that I like, but don't necessarily have a purpose for them. Never fear. Nia comes to save the day and shows us what to do. Great layout, color combinations, and detail. I love how you made all those colors work so well together. Thank you. I look forward to working on this project. 👍🎨 Stay safe Nia.💖

Hi Nia! One of my favorite doodles, love the color choices! Today I felt like binge re-watching older videos of yours, ones I watched when I first discovered your channel. I also watched your really old videos, like your DIY notebooks. Cute and clever =) So I thought I’d comment here since I didn’t leave a comment before. See ya on Friday!
