Turtles
THE ELONGATION AND BUOYANCY of a group of turtles is fascinating
to observe. Beyond the glass wall of the aquarium, they stretch
and paddle, swinging their limbs and shells with a slow circular
movement. A perfect subject for the beginner, turtles often pause
unexpectedly, as if caught in a camera freeze-frame, offering plenty
of time for the artist to draw the pose.
