Day 8 - Strada Easel January Challenge
I am participating in the Strada Easel January Challenge. Quite a commitment - a painting a day for 31 days! It has to be a subject that you are looking at. Not from a photo. And it must be painted AND posted that day! Currently there are 876 participants from all over the world. But as the days go by, people drop out. Five lucky winners from the remaining participants will be chosen at the end of the challenge and will get to select a Strada Easel of their choice!
The rules: Do a painting or drawing from life each day (i.e. a work of art done while you are looking at the subject from life-not from a photo or imagination). These subjects may include still life, interiors, figure, and landscapes.
Cape Cod Whelk
Watercolor on Fabriano Studio Watercolor - Hot Press
I thought this would be an easy subject.
It wasn't... hah!
The shell was given to me years ago by a co-worker who had a summer place on the Cape. I wonder if you could find a whelk shell of this size out there these days. This one is 7 1/2 inches from end to end.
