Pastel Watermelon Sketch

A very quick pastel sketch.  I put watermelon on this Hunt list and bought one just to sketch it.  I do like watermelon so not a problem to buy one!  The small personal size are about right for me.  Gene likes cantaloupe so I have to get both.

I sketched in my studio while Gene rode his inside bike so only spent about 25-30 minutes on this.  It is dark but at least I sketched and played in the dust.


 For Scavenger Hunt 163 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-163-jun-19-jul-01.8038/

Number 5 watermelon - on a piece of wiped off Pastelbord, 12 x 10 inches and various brands of pastels.

 

And the setup with my dirty pastels.  I haven't put them away and cleaned the rack for ages.  Not the best plan.  I do wipe them as I use them but I could find the right colors easier if they were clean!  It would be helpful especially when having limited time.
