Sketches Chair, Nuts, Spoon, Egg and House Plant

It was a beautiful day, so we got in nine holes of golf, walking. The playing wasn't great but what a day. About 85 degrees by this afternoon. I then painted on the rocking horse but did not take any photos.

The sketches are for the Scavenger Hunt 16. They are in a generic sketchbook about 6 x 10 inches and with the Pigma Micron 05 pen, dark brown. I took the photos under a lamp so they were very yellow and I turned them to black and white for posting.

#9, the kitchen chair is out of perspective. I like the feel, though. You can see some of the correcting lines. I'm still trying not to erase or start over. It is training the eye to see better.



#10, Silverware, is an old silver spoon. It hardly has any shine, so must have been silver plated. #11, an egg, is interesting. Very difficult in the pen and ink to get the soft shading, may try it in pointillism and see if that is better. And, #12, Nuts, are some mixed nuts from a can.



#13, a houseplant. This is a bucket that Jennie gave me, red, white and blue. It looks a little squashed .. just my sketch. It is in very good shape.
