Hunting 164

Even though we extended the number of days for each Hunt, it is already a new Hunt.  I didn't do many sketches last Hunt.  Maybe, just maybe I will do better this Hunt.

I sketched out on the porch yesterday on my iPhone with fingers.  Took too long and is sort of vague.  Looks like mountains in the back with the hard lines, but is just more trees.

Number 1 trees - on iPhone with App, Brushes, and fingers

 

 

Today I sketched in the Conda book with a Micron 03.

Number 2 doorknob - we have more this type latches than doorknobs.  I think they are easier for handicapped persons to open.

 These are for the new Hunt https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-164-jul-01-jul-13.8061/

I saw these fun boots at Academy.  If I wore boots I would get some.....

 

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.

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.

Plein Air Sketch

 I sketched outside, plein air,  this morning while Gene was in physical therapy.  I had the day off.  It was starting to get pretty warm but I sat in the shade on the foundation of the post holding up the awning of the buildings on the other side of the patio.  There is the one lone umbrella but several tables that I left out.

I glanced at my list and somehow thought that "umbrella" was my "U" word and "L" was "lamppost".  Well it wasn't.  I adapted the sketch to fit the list.

 Number 3 Free Space (umbrella?) and Number 4 Tree (lamppost?)

This sketch is in the Canson Mixed Media large sketchbook, 1/2 page.  I used Ohuhu pens and waterbrushes and watercolors.

 

Yellow Not My Favorite

Why did I put Yellow on the list?  I always have a hard time finding yellow in our house.  It has to be tools or food.  We haven't had bananas lately.  I sketched with my Apple Pencil and the app, Brushes, on my iPad so I could have color without dragging out other stuff like watercolors or pastels.  Lazy me.

Number 2 yellow - the prune can is mostly yellow.  Hard to make perfect ellipses with my shaky hands.  Fun to try anyway.

Physical therapy today, pick up groceries and have the wasps and ants sprayed.  Always something going on.
