Common Sea Dragon Ink Sketch
Hello Friends,
The other day I decided to do a quick sketch of the Common Sea Dragon. As you can see, it has many less appendages than the Leafy Sea Dragon. So why didn’t I pick this one to paint you might wonder? Well, to me, the Leafy Sea Dragon is more challenging and just seems to have so much more character! They are definitely wondrous sea creatures.
Well, our weather here has drastically changed in one day from beautiful cool and breezy spring to a stagnate 92 degrees! It is June now, though, so I am thankful that we had an actual spring season this year anyway. But I think our summer is finally here (even though it isn’t the 21st yet.)
When I was a kid living in Georgia, I loved summer even with the humidity (I didn’t know any different, then, though.) But that was because my mom either set sprinklers out for us to play in or took us to the local public swimming pool. Although, I do have great summer memories of our small pool we had for a couple of summers when the kids were young. All we could do was play in it, but it relieved a lot of stress!
What is a favorite summer memory of yours?
Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug! 🙂

I loved the pool, but the visit by the Bookmobile was always a treat! 🙂

The pool was great, but I also liked the preparations that occurred a few weeks before school.

Yeah, I used to love shopping with my mom for school supplies and new clothes.

Patsy, your summer memories paint a rich picture. I have fond memories of playing hide-and-seek with the neighbor kids into the warm summer night.

Thanks! I loved playing that, too, Tiffany. When I lived in Kentucky from ages 10-16, my neighborhood friends and I played Ghost in the Graveyard at night. It was similar to hide-n-seek except I think the seeker was the ghost. I can’t really remember that well. 🙂

That is the kind of drawing (pen) that I would love to add a touch of watercolour to. I really like the look of watercolour and pen.

Yes, I do, too. I was already thinking about doing one of these in pen and watercolor, Anneli! Great minds think alike. I have done some pen and watercolor before but not any lately.
