Person Outdoors

I sketched on the porch this morning.  Where else?  It is pretty nice with the fan on although we expect 100 degrees this evening.  Not fun, but at least we don't have to be working or running around in the heat.

Number 2 found outdoors - mower and landscape 
Number 3 person - mower driver
In the FIXSMITH sketch book, with a Micron 03 and watercolors.

Number 4 hand and Number 5 writing or painting tool - Micron 03 and watercolor

The mower was chopping down the wildflowers.  Not sure if it is too early.  Have the flowers all seeded out?  We haven't had too many flowers this year and maybe the early mowing is the reason.  It was also a dry spring and early summer.  Still dry in our area after flooding in other parts of Texas.

Dusty Mugs

I finally played in the dust.  Good for my  fingers.  A sketch in pastels for the Scavenger Hunt this time.  Item was "I have more than three of them".  You may remember I had a huge collection of mugs that burned in the fire and now I have another bunch which I said I would never have.  Sigh....

There are some fun sketches and different artists and techniques to see on the Scavenger Hunts.

Number 1 (for this Hunt) I have more than three of them - mugs sketched on wiped off Mi Tientes paper.  About 45 minutes with soft pastels.

Here is my easel and set up for the sketch:

Seasonal Tree and Rock Sketch

Out on the porch for the morning ritual of food, birds and news on the iPad.  Actually more weather and traffic than news in the mornings.

I sketched another half page in the new sketchbook with a Micron 02.  For Scavenger Hunt from Life 194.   https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-194-jul-7-jul-19.9140/

Number 6 tree - I started in the middle of the page in the tree.  Number 7 seasonal - some morning glories  near the shed and Number 8 rocks - a small pile of white stones, maybe from the other house and we left them on the lawn.  Now just part of the yard.  Hmmmm.
