Instructions
  1. Rinse a few shells with freshwater and let them dry in the sun.

  2. Paint pictures on the inside of each shell, being careful to let each color dry before adding the next for a crisp picture, or letting the colors blend for an abstract splash of color.

  3. Set finished shells out in the sun until dry.
