For someone who never lived by the sea, travelling to the seaside and enjoying the salty blue waters and warm sand, was always a great pleasure since I was a child.

The watercolor piece above I painted back in 2017, it features various seashells and tiny corals that I treasured over the years, colored from ivory to beige, to brown.

The second artwork is more recent, I painted this one for the client, as a part of custom watercolor illustrations that I’m offering. My favorite part of the project was to paint all the little details and textures, that these objects have.

Species included here: star fish, sea urchin shell, sea shell, composed around the much bigger coral tree. I love using limited watercolor palettes for the entire artwork, so the objects instantly feel connected to one another.

If you are looking for the custom illustration - feel free to contact me anytime a@annafarba.com

Hope you enjoyed to see what I am working on these days!
