Sea fan watercolours

I've been planning on doing some watercolours of sea fans for some time now, and yesterday I managed to finish two. I've always loved artwork featuring pressed seaweed specimens and coral, and with these paintings I've tried to capture the look and feel of vintage botanicals, collected and framed.








I'm thinking I might add these to my new range of artwork, and here's a preview of some other colour options I'm considering...








So, what do you think? How about the colours - maybe you have some other suggestions? I'd love to know your thoughts. You guys are always so helpful, so any comments would be gratefully received!

Now that I've started these, I have lots of other ideas - just not enough hours in the day. I'm sure I'm not alone there!

  2. How to choose from those my dear friend! They all look fabulous. I'm quite partial to a bit of orange and that black one would be perfect in my b&w bedroom, or perhaps a hot pink!! And, um...what's a sea fan??

  9. Love the charcoal and green versions.
    Great design and sooo effective but you know I love your artwork. How about a Taupe version or a white on black paper.
