By  Tim Pugh 2006

Dimensions
51cm x 40cm

Shell Sketch is part of an ongoing series of outdoor drawings, created on boulders off the beach in north west Wales. Seaside and tidal debris materials are picked from the tideline and sketched onto smooth limestone, fossil encrusted boulders, such as this shell using compressed charcoal and white chalk. Due to its temporary nature, medium format photography is used to record the results.
