“Just as the sun rose over the landscape, shards of yellow penetrated the deep blue water to reveal life beneath the sea. Tentacles of deep green seaweed danced to the music of the current. In the deepest depths of the water, life was awakened with the bright morning sun. Creatures of the sea revealed their secrets.” - Jo Flaherty

Jo posted this as a challenge on the ZIA Tips, Tricks and Techniques Group on Facebook. I decided to begin by creating a fairly standard Zentangle, using just a few of my favorite “aquarium” tangles.

Zentangle drawn on Strathmore Vellum Bristol using a black, Micron pen. Shading done with graphite pencil.
