Scavenger Hunt 52, Sketches 6 - 10

I sat on the deck and sketched yesterday afternoon. It was so nice out there. It had been a hot day and it clouded up and was nice and cool. We played golf first so sketching was a good way to wind down.


#6 Sports Related item, my golf shoes. #7 Something bumpy, golf ball. I was surprised at the dimples on the ball. I thought golf balls had concentric or even dimples. These were different sizes and very random. They must have figured out that it helps as these are some of the newest balls. I sketched with the Micron 05 pen and as you see it finally ran out of ink. That pen was a good one! About 20 minutes in the NY sketchbook.



#8 Part of your vehicle, the front passenger side of the van. I could see this by standing on the corner of the deck and didn't have to go out on the street. The Micron 005 purple pen, about 15 minutes on the next page of the sketchbook.



#9 Get Someone to bring you something to sketch, Gene brought his Birkenstocks. Again with the Micron 05. I didn't note the time, but about 20 minutes.



#10 Something nautical, nothing around here nautical so Gene found this boat in a bottle cartoon in the Reader's Digest. About 15 minutes, same pen and sketchbook.

Jo, those birks are drawn very confidently! They look good. All your faithfulness is paying off.

OK. I'm all over this one..Hey, Gene! Birkenstocks are hippie shoes! (man, I'm feelin' spunky :))

Hey, Jo, you make my point about sketching with pen (ain't it grand?!)
I am loving your sketches Jo. Better, and better, and better, and better...you inspire me!
