Sea Shells and Gravel by Niah (grade 6)

Niah also created a still life arrangement this week out of sea shells and gravel  and then drew it looking through a picture frame.   I love her treatment of the stones, rendered in pale yellows, golds, browns and blacks.  Niah has a wonderful sense of colour, and decided take a little artistic licence with the colour of her shells, which in reality were rather bleached and faded.   Accordingly,  she painted  the one on the right, a bright blue, and made several others a pale pink ---  definitely an improvement!
