Seahorse in Crayon, Stage 1
Hello Friends!
After watching Charlie O’Shields do his doodles in watercolor for Sketchbook Revival the other day, I decided to try something with my crayons! I have a cigar sized box of the ones our kids and I used when they were young.
You may or may not recognize this seahorse. I painted one in watercolor a while back. However, I was never really happy with the composition of the painting. So since it was done on 300 lb. watercolor paper, I decided to cut it out! Then I simply traced around the edges on this piece of drawing paper and colored it with my crayons.
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to leave it this simple or not. And I don’t. So I have some ideas brewing about what else I want to do to it. That’s why I haven’t signed it yet! 😉
Today I began another mixed media project. It is going to be posted in stages also.
Have a wonderful day and give someone you love a big hug! 😀

Looks like you are having a good time experimenting with old art supplies.

I remember you did a seahorse a long time ago. Wonder what you’ll do with this one.
