Collection Sketch in Ink

I sketched a collection of items rescued from or after the big fire of 2011.  This is in the Conda sketchbook, large copy paper size of plain paper.  I sketched with a Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen.  It is interesting that it made the lines fuzzy, combination of paper and pen I suppose.

Number 1 collection - some of the remnants that were rescued after the fire in 2011.  Cups, bowls, bottle, figurine, bell and rock.  (This will double for Inktober 11 as rescue - from the fire.)

I'm not sure why we kept these shreds of our life.  Do they keep the memories going?  Memories of life or the fire??  Hmmm.  It is interesting to see that most of the "survivors" are pottery.  It was fired before I imagine.  All this is pottery except the rock.  There was some iron or metal things left, like an iron skillet/dutch oven.  A couple of artworks made of railroad spikes are also around.  The mailbox is iron so it is out front.  You can search in the search box at the top of my page for Bastrop Fire and see more of the results.

Off for my respite day.  What will I sketch? Come back and find out.  Oh you can join in on the Scavenger Hunt.  I am hosting this Hunt.  See you there??? 

 

 

Sketches that Double for Hunting and Inktober

I did some sketches in the Conda sketchbook with a Micron 03 while Gene napped this morning.  I had to be quick just in case.  The two from life can double for the Scavenger Hunt and Inktober. The items for the Scavenger Hunt must be sketched from life so the pick-up doesn't fit the criteria.

Number 8 soft for the Hunt - rotten potato (Inktober 8 stinky) 
Inktober 9 ram - a Dodge Ram from a photo 
Number 7 curly for the Hunt - yarn on Evil Eye (Inktober 10 mystic)

Inktober 5 Ogre in the Ohuhu sketchbook with Ohuhu 0.3 and Inktense for color from photos.  5 minute sketch.

Number 6 for Inktober is "smack".  I have skipped that for the moment.   

 

Public - Panic

Did the title grab your attention?  I need to make someone smile.  I sketched in the Ohuhu sketchbook with an Ohuhu pen.  I did it very quickly in the car while Gene was in PT.  He was a little tired when we got there and I needed to get back in the building in case he finished early ... and he did.

Number 6 public - Koko's Mexican Snacks.  It looks a little like an earthquake is taking place with my crooked lines.  I will use the sketch for Inktober  item 7 panic - I think some folks would panic if the store were to close and they couldn't get their fix.  I went in and had a fruity drink with hot spice on the rim.  It was OK but I prefer my lattes.  I will post about it on my Inktober sketches on Saturday.

The Lost Pines Art Association is having an art fest on November 7.  I think you can still get in as a vendor if you desire. More information at Lost Pines Art Center  https://www.lostpinesartcenter.org/  The Chubby Knuckle Choir is such a fun band, they play all sorts of music.
