Yesterday I played in the dust for an hour or so. I wiped off a piece of Colourfix sanded paper and sketched with a variety of pastels.
Number 1, drink bottle - Budweiser I bought to make bug spray and haven't
Number 2, apple - a big Honey Crisp
Number 3, blue - a blue bowl from the Empty Bowl projects, upside down
The paper shows through a lot, but I didn't want to spend the time to turn the sketch into a painting. Some paper peeking through is OK, but it takes away from the glass bottle .
Today we went for our walk so I sketched across the pond, this time from the picnic table. I used a Micron 02 in the travel sketchbook and added some watercolor back at the house. The blue square item is a boat of some sort. I made it too big for the rest of the sketch. I had to put color, otherwise you wouldn't know it was there. I added color mainly to show the reflection then forgot to put the reflection in. Sigh... Not up to scanning, resizing, etc. Use your imagination for me today.
We are in heat advisory mode. It is supposed to get to 106 F and feel like 112 degrees. I'm so happy that we do not have to work in the heat. I feel sorry for those that do. Take care out there!

The heat of the past week was tough. Today here in OK, it is rainy and cool. I may make it through the summer - and I had my doubts. I like the sketches especially the dusty one.
Bag Blog, I am jealous of the rain. We are hoping for a sprinkle but it isn't coming down this far. Supposed to get a cold front next week. Fingers crossed.
Thanks on the sketches, I painted today with pastels. Yay!
The reflection comment made me laugh. :-)
Joanna, the reflection was irritating. That was the only reason I added color. Made me laugh ... later, too.
