Indoor Scene Sketch

Off to PT as usual today.  I sketched in the Ohuhu Mix Media smaller sketchbook with an Ohuhu 0.3 pen.  About 20 minutes duration.


For Scavenger Hunt from Life 189 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-189-apr-27-may-9.8965/

Number 1 soft - tissue
Number 2 has wheels - chair
Number 3 indoor scene
Number 4 rectangle - tissue box

For the previous Hunt I did #4 rough texture - a pen basket at PT done with the app Brushes on my iPhone.  

That's all folks!  See ya later.

The Last Purchase

 The Scavenger Hunt list had "the last thing you purchased".  Not exciting for me, it was a prescription for Gene.  They come in a brown paper bag, so that made it somewhat interesting.  

I sketched out on the porch on a gorgeous morning.  It got hot and muggy later so had to close up the house.  I sketched in the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook, a full page with the two sketches.

Number 2, the last thing you purchased


Number 3, person or persons - a couple of walkers with their dog.  You wouldn't be able to pick them out of a group from my sketch.  Not even the dog is close.  They were walking pretty fast.  Really.....

The Longhorns are playing Vanderbilt this weekend.  They won Friday night and lost tonight.  All the teams in the conference are pretty close.  The Longhorns and Aggies had one game canceled for weather.  That may hurt them in the standings as other teams have an extra win in their column.  Hopefully they will win tomorrow and win the series.

Palette in Watercolor


My watercolor palette is always a mess.  Maybe that is why my watercolors are used mainly for sketching.  I sketched while Gene was in PT.  


For Scavenger Hunt from Life 188, Number 1 - used in my art, watercolor palette

I sketched in the Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook a full page 10 x 7.6 inches with an Ohuhu .5 pen and watercolors.

The baseball game tonight was interesting.  The Horns played the Alabama Crimson Tide in Austin at the Disch.  The Longhorns used a different lineup tonight and it seemed to spark them.  They lost the series last weekend in College Station against the Texas Aggies.  Bummer.  Tonight was fun, they won 10 -2 with 4 errors.  Yikes!  They haven't played Alabama many times over the years.  I captured this screen shot from ESPN+ SEC network.
