Conch Shell on Green

I painted this shell using the Zorn Palette (just white, black, yellow ocher and cadmium red), but changed my mind about the background. I wanted the green to be intense, as to contrast with the subtle colors of the shell, so went outside of the (Zorn) box.

  1. Love the green background! Such a gorgeous rendering of the colors of the shell. You are inspiring me to try the Zorn palette.
