Description
This watercolor is of a beautiful abalone shell. Though this type of mollusc does not grow wild on the big island, there are still plenty of shells around. Thanks to the Big Island Abalone Corporation who grow Ezo abalone there are plenty of iridescent beauties to share. Capturing the iridescent rainbow in the shell was a fun challenge with lots of light blue contrasting with dark blues, and bright colors contrasting with neutral tones. The sequential holes in the shell add a interesting texture to the shape as well. I hope you enjoy the composition as much as I did painting it.
