Scavenger Hunt 102, Tape and More

Back to Scavenger Hunt 102. I hope to get a few more sketches done this Hunt as I am hosting. Please read about why I do the Hunts here in Why Be a Sketching Scavenger. I sketch freehand (no pre sketching and erasing), usually with pen and ink, and hope to become faster and more accurate with my practice. For the most part, I am doing just that. I do, however, fall into old habits when I am bored and tend to plunge in without thinking about perspective and composition. Of course, sketches are not intended to be finished work, just practice. I would still like to be more accurate the first time round. Sketching helps me in painting, especially in plein air, as I tend to "see" better and get the light and main shapes down quickly.

Yesterday afternoon I sketched while visiting with Gene's mom. All in my Cachet sketchbook with a Micron 05 pen, about 10 minutes or so each. I never time them, but I can get 2 and a bit more done in one 30 minute TV program.

#2,tape. I sketched a roll of artists tape on my knee over the corner of my sketchbook while Gene's mom, Frances, played Bingo.

#3 TV and #4 Heater. Frances' TV and wall heater (partial) that is like a heater/airconditioner in hotels.

Number 5 Footstool, a good example of just plunging in and not paying attention to the perspective. Sigh..... Number 6 Painting on the wall. There are two collages on the wall here in our rented house, about 30 x 36 inches after framing. Very nice.

Don't forget, I post more than once a day. Scroll down. :)
