I found my very first sea urchins when i went on holiday this year, although I maybe have accidentally crushed one. I did some quick watercolour painting of the broken sections of sea urchin is still had left. The work isn't very detailed but I really like painting the pieces so they are arranged on the page.
Im really inspired by a recent book i have brought as well. The cabinet of natural curiosities by Albertus Seba is a massive book filled with so many natural illustrations that he did in the 18th century. Its filled with animals and plants, as well as my favourite which is shells and coral. There is an amazing page filled with illustrations of all the different sea urchin shells.
