Stuff Pastel Sketch

I put four items in my pastel sketch for the Scavenger Hunt.  I was pushed for time so only about 30-45 minutes wipe off to finish.  I wiped the cookies from the previous post.  I don't remember what kink of paper it is, about 9 x 12 inches in size.  About the fourth wipe off so holding up well!

Number 1 glass - a red one
Number 2 ceramic - cup gift from Joanna, not as bright red, white and blue.
Number 3 metal - pewter vase looks more silver in the sketch
Number 4 flower - felt ones from Kathy

I didn't take time to soften colors or work on background.  I did want to get a sketch done.

Here is my setup.  Didn't work much on shadows either.

The Longhorns play baseball against LSU tonight and the weekend in Austin at UFCU Disch Falk Field.    Looks like the weather will be good!  Hook 'em Horns!!

Sugary in Pastels and Green in Watercolor

I've been wanting to sketch Gene's sugar cookies that Brandon brought him.  They are so cute from the HEB grocery and made in Bee Caves, Texas.  He had already eaten the cowboy hat and sunflower, so decided I had better get with it.    Pastels are my favorite for texture and color so just wiped off an old sketch and did this one.  Very sketchy, only about 30 minutes start to finish.

Number 1 sugary - Gene's cookies made for our HEB grocery in Bee Caves, TX. About palm of your hand size, individually wrapped but I sketched minus the cellophane. Lazy. I couldn't resist sketching them but didn't want to open them. Gene had eaten the cowboy hat and sunflower.
Number 2 green - the cactus cookie

The cookies were/are so cute.  They are also good to eat I'm told.  No flour for me.

I forgot to post this.  I went to take the photo of the cookies and was sidetracked.  Imagine that.

Yesterday I sketched at PT.  I'm pretty sure I sketched this before.  I planned to sketch outside for "building" but it was so windy and ugly out there.  It looks so nice from the window, but ...

Number 3,  shamrock or plant - in the waiting area.

This is in the Ohuhu sketchbook with a Sharpie Pen that is about out of ink and added watercolor at home.   It is about 6 x 7 inches

I like that sketchbook so much.  I need to order another one.  It is Mix Media and the paper takes watercolor very well and markers if you don't get too heavy with them.  Smooth paper for ink as well.

Baseball Notes....

The Longhorn baseball game was irritating.  It went into the 11th inning, 4 and a half hours.  They played UT San Antonio Roadrunners in Austin.  It was very windy still at the 630 start and through the game.  I think each team had about 4 home runs that just blew out of the stadium.  The fielders had lots of fun trying to be in the right place.  The Roadrunners won, 8 - 7.  Hook  'em Horns!  (Maybe I didn't have on a Texas shirt and my earrings!!)

We still don't have TV in the living room so I watched on my iPad and Gene watched television in our bedroom.  Hopefully we will get a TV by the weekend.  Waiting on insurance, extended warranty.  I am also trying out YouTube TV so I can get the games, but it is not so good without a smart TV.  Have to use the AppleTV with the old TV in the bedroom.  We have DirecTV by satellite which is easy but don't have sports channels.  About $50 a month more to watch baseball.  Sigh...  I guess it is cheaper than going to the games but still the principal.  The Longhorn Network and the SEC Network are "free" if you have the sports package.  YouTube has sports but the SEC+ streaming is on ESPN streaming.  Complicated for this old gal.

New Hunting

A new Hunt is always inspiring.  I'm always hoping to find new things to sketch.  Our big TV in the living room is out so we were watching the morning news in the bedroom.  I sketched in the Conda sketchbook which has regular sketching paper and is 8.5 x 11 inches in size.  These sketches are done with a Micron 03 on about half a page each.

Number 1 sports equipment - Gene's stationary bike is probably more exercise equipment but it is what we have.

Number 2 useful - the ceiling fan.  More useful now that the temps are over 80º.  We went from record lows a couple of weeks ago to record highs this week.  It may hit 92º today.  86º F at the moment.

Not much going on this week besides physical therapy for Gene.  We will see our primary care doctor tomorrow for some routine questions.  Gene's Parkinson's doctor is going to Oklahoma so we need to find another.  She, Dr. Varga, will be very difficult to replace.  She is one of a kind and sooooo good.

The Longhorn Baseball Team is traveling to Starkville, Mississippi, this weekend to play Mississippi State.   They have only lost one game, the first one, so far.  Hook 'em Horns!
