Soft Useful Free

I sketched at physical therapy for Gene today.  It was just too muggy to sit outside, so....


 For Scavenger Hunt 165 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-165-jul-13-25.8088/

Number 1 soft - tissue, the boxes have clever writing on them
Number 2 useful - hand sanitizer 
Number 3 free space (half) - a lady had on some neat Sketchers and left before I got the first outlined so I half finished it.  The shoes were very light in color, pinkish and had fun design and texture.

These are in the small Canson sketchbook with a Micron 03.  You may remember that I lost a lid to one of my pens.  Well it was in the coils of that sketchbook!

Tomorrow is another day without any heavy schedule so maybe a pastel sketch.  We will see.

In and Outdoors Sketches

We went to physical therapy for Gene.  It was warm and the shade was the same old place so I sketched the item "keys" for the Hunt inside.  In the afternoon on my respite time I went to get the car washed and sat outside there.  It was warm but there was a foul odor inside.

Number 7 keys - in the Ohuhu sketchbook with a Micron 03 pen.

Number 8 outdoors - a little confusing maybe.  The awning of the car wash where you pick up your car.  A car on the frontage road and another on the freeway in the back.  The trees and sign are next door.  On the same page in the Ohuhu sketchbook.  Not much room for detail.

I hope to get a pastel sketch in today or tomorrow.  Fingers crossed.

On the Porch

Yes, nice morning on the porch for a quick sketch.  We came in about 9 a.m. because it was warming up.  It is humid and sticky out.


 For Scavenger Hunt from Life 164 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-164-jul-01-jul-13.8061/

Number 7 snack and Number 8 egg beater.  In the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook, about 2/3 of a page.  I used Ohuhu pens, pencil and watercolors.

Take care out there.
