Description
Green Turban Seashells, Turbo marmoratus, 11 inch specimen. These large heavy shells were used to make buttons in the early 20th century
Sometimes an image looks very intriguing as a black and white pencil rendering. A simple understatement sometimes has more impact than a full color image. This image has been digitally rendered as fine detailed pencil drawings. They remind me of the delicate "silver point" drawings that I created on gessoed paper using a piece of sterling silver wire while a student at the Art Institute Of Boston. The silver would darken as it oxidized creating a very subtle and soft look. These images look stunning in the larger sizes, matted and framed.
