We probably all have memories of going to the beach. The very sound of waves crashing onto the shore has a rhythmic way of quieting the inner spirit. I spent many of my years growing up and living thirty miles from South Padre...before the high rises. Isn't it wonderful how memories can transport us to other places without ever leaving home?
Rectangular color blocks offer a perfect "niche" to paint an image like this shell. The softer edges of the color blocks can only be achieved by working wet into wet. The results look much more contrived if applying straight acrylic paint which is precisely why paste paper is such a happy choice. The paste also dilutes the color a bit and makes it easier to manipulate. One more technique in achieving transparent and ethereal looks. You might want to give it a try!
