Seahorse 3

Today, as I was coming down from the loft of the main barn after throwing out hay for my horses; I saw my first swallows. A pair of barn swallows and a single tree swallow.

Hopefully, the warm weather we are currently enjoying will continue and that they will stay and nest in the barn or one of the nearby trees.

After breakfast, I thought I would like to do a drawing of a seahorse among some seaweed.

First I sketched in the seahorse, placing it slightly above the center of the paper.

Next, I started to add the strands of seaweed.

I began with the one I would have its tail wrap around.

Next, I added a couple more strands behind the seahorse.

Lastly, I added one more strand on the lower left side of the drawing.
