Sketching and Focusing

I sketched out on the porch, imagine that.  I am beginning to get a bit quicker with Brushes and my finger painting on my iPad.  I try not to use the "Undo" unless it is a huge error, for instance if inadvertently drag my finger across the page.

We are up to Scavenger Hunt 290.   I have been sketching on the Hunts since 2006.  I am becoming a real old timer.  I have over 4,000 posts on wetcanvas.com and it says Immortalized under my name.  Some of the sketchers have over 20,000 and are now a WC Legend.

Each sketch was about 30 minutes.  The challenge is to do a still life with as many of the 26 items as possible.  You know I am too lazy to gather props.  So, you will get a couple of small  groups.

Number 1, blue - Gene's recliner in the living room.

Number 2, holiday decorations - the pumpkins and corn for Thanksgiving and Number 3, made of fabric - the scarecrow's clothes.

Number 4, wet - the screen from the fog and dew, those are water drops, not snow!  Number 5, cold and clammy - the grass and trees.  Number 6, made of wood - the porch and Number 7, made of glass - the bottle

Saved for the end, my art link for the day:

I read Clint Watson's newsletter daily.  Great advice and guest articles.
