Lobster and Clam Dinner
"This was a fun tutorial! I found the platter shape and shading quite challenging. The clams were fun.
I am from the coast of Maine and am planning a short vacation next week in a small, remote fishing village in Stonington, Maine. It is very picturesque. I hope to get some photographs to paint from and eventually create a Down East series to go with this 'Lobster and Clam Dinner'."
