Hunt 153 Underway

I sketched yesterday afternoon and watched golf. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ryan Moore and Nick Watney are the top challengers in the European Tour this week. Cool. I am always patriotic and want the Americans to win. I'm not politically correct, eh? Today the Longhorn Football Team played so I watched and sketched. Texas won and are still undefeated. Go Horns!

Back to sketching, for Scavenger Hunt 153 I worked in the 7 x 10 inch sketchbook with a Micron 05 pen and added a bit of colored pencil to a couple of the items.

For newcomers to my blog, the Scavenger Hunts are on wetcanvas.com. One of the artists makes a list of 26 everyday items that can be found in the house or nearby. We have 9 days to sketch. You can make quick sketches or detailed sketches and use a medium or media of choice. There are usually a couple of extra challenges. For example to use your non dominant hand or medium that you usually don't use. It is good for me as I do keep sketching and having a list forces me to sketch things that I usually wouldn't try. Anyone can join in. You post your sketches and comment as much as you care to. Come check it out.

Jeanne Grant has participated in all 153 Hunts, I have only missed a few. Doesn't seem like we have been doing it that long.

For Hunt 153, Number 1, open book. This is a notebook that you can fold back and used like a clipboard.

Number 2 - curled paper - I put a little pad of scratch paper that has been on my desk on my computer to sketch. When I started sketching it I realized it was a piece of a calendar from 2005. Where did that come from?? The calendar doesn't have a company name but says "Home Tips" on it. Hmmmm. Number 3 - glow - the glow around the power cord on my iBook. Number 4 - ladle - from the kitchen it is hard plastic and number 5 - bottle top - from Gene's Gatorade.

Number 6, watch - Gene's wrist watch that he was wearing today.
