more watercolours...

I explored these little barnacles I found on the beach by photo copying them, and increasing their size...

The photo below shows the ridges of the barnacle up close...

To recreate these ridges and patterns of the barnacle, I used a wax candle as a resist and then painted over with colours that i feel represent the ocean. I slightly tilted my paper so that the colours would pool, and some sections would be richer in colour than others.


These watercolour squares were used in my display Design Indaba. I placed perspex over each one and used that as a platform for my jewellery.
