Hunting with a Pen

Scavenger Hunt 552 is well under way.  I sketched in the big book with a Prismacolor 03 day before yesterday and today.  I sketch directly with pen and ink or in this case a fine line marker commonly referred to as pen in sketching.

Number 5, cup of coffee or tea - the cup is red with white inside and green and red trim.  The wide part of the saucer is creamy color with spots.  Hard to portray in black and white.
Number 6, spoon - a larger serving spoon with holes, should be bigger.


Number 7,  view out a window of your home - this is out the bedroom window, all the others are pretty much just trees.
Number 8, contents of medicine cabinet - the counter serves here as a cabinet and general "junk" drawer.  I was going to draw a bottle of hot sauce that was there and forgot.

Still beautiful weather.  I took the day off yesterday from art.  Didn't do much of anything else either.

We went to breakfast at the Bakery today.  Pretty good food but we were there about an hour and a half.  We both had 3 cups of coffee while waiting on our food.  They did have some, though.

Hope your weekend is swell, too.

hmuxo, pen and watercolor go together so nicely. Look forward to seeing that. Good to knock the pastel dust off once in a while. :-)

everyone deserves a day off :)

good job with the spoon, I always have problems with the bend in the h andle

Thanks, Jennifer Rose. The spoon should be larger, it would be easier to show as metal.

We've been getting some rain here. It cools things off, but it also makes it steamy when it warms back up. And it does warm back up. Glad you are staying cool.

Bag Blog, we know the steamy so well. Hope you get a bit more cooling rain. There was some in our area in Texas, not sure if any at our house.
