More about my process of painting these shells is as follows:
- They were collected on the beaches of Zeeland in the Netherlands. The exception are St Jacob scallops, which I usually buy in a fish shop.
- Later they were cleaned and ozonated to remove any unwanted odor.
- Then they were covered with a layer of gesso primer.
- Once the primer had dried, they were ready to be painted using high quality acrylic paints, often requiring 2-4 coats.
- The acrylic layers were covered with metallic wax paste.
- I often use gold leaf (gold flakes) at this stage.
- Finally, they were varnished to protect the colors for many decades.
