I put my feet up on my hassock and sketched in front of the fireplace this morning. I'm hosting Scavenger Hunt 388 http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20327557#post20327557 and one of the items was fireplace. Perfect timing as it is cool for us, 43 degrees at 10:00 a.m.
Number 1, fireplace -- ours is electric and the TV box and the DVD player sit on a shelf and the TV is on top. It puts out heat and is very realistic looking so serves the purposes very well!
When I sketch on my iPad for the Scavenger Hunts, I try to make it as much like a sketch as possible. I leave the crooked lines as my fingers don't slide too straight. That makes it more like a sketch with a pen and paper. I could zoom in more and delete the mistakes, but that would make it different from a sketch. I only use the "undo" when it is a very obvious mistake or I start to use the wrong size tool or wrong color. In fact I left some pretty bad color around the fireplace where it is supposed to be wooden. Maybe one of these days, I will do a real drawing to show the difference. Ah, probably not. It would take too much of my "valuable" time.
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

I tried leaving a comment but lost it. Guess I need a lesson. Where is my instructor when I need her? I said that commenting it is not realistic is unrealistic, it does not look like anything I have seen in this house. Now what do I do?
I redid it because it posted his e-mail.
I did said the fireplace was very realistic, not my sketch. Ha. Thanks for commenting, Gene
