I sketched another item for
Scavenger Hunt 363 yesterday after the tree and then forgot to post it! I'm lost in the beautiful mornings doing nothing on the porch, I guess. I sketched again this morning. We had .4 of an inch of rain and the morning was nice and cool about 72 degrees F. I took photos of birds and delayed coming in as long as possible.
From yesterday for Scavenger Hunt 363, number 3 - foot and number 4 - shoe. Done with the app, Brushes. Gene's foot on a little stool that is not at all crooked as it is molded plastic. Sigh....
From today number 5, water view. I was playing with a paint brush for the background and pastel for the rest on the app, ArtRage. Interesting, but takes longer as I am not used to it. Getting better, though. It records your strokes and I will try to get it here for you to see how I do a sketch. More learning!
I also use SketchBookPro on my iMac. Nice, too.
Inspiration:
Did you learn how to cook? Did you learn how to play a musical instrument? Did you learn how to drive a car? If you did, I suspect you can learn how to paint. This article by Richard McKinley,
http://mckinleystudio.com/, reinforces this idea in his article, "Artistic Drivers Education".

There are many useful articles on his Pastel Painters Blog,

There had been a very nice house finch with lots of red on him but he wouldn't come back to the feeder when I was sitting out there. Then I came in and there he was again. Too much time spent there and then going through all the photos to find a few nice ones.

I like the Art Rage sketch. And, of course, the photos of the birds! :-)
Thanks, Joanna. I am not as patient as you for the photos of the birds but it seems the new camera is doing well.
