Green and Glass Homework

Yesterday was a homework day for sketching.  Just not inspired but I was feeling obligated.  I have more fun with sketching and painting when I am not on a schedule.  However, when I'm not on a schedule or deadline I tend to slack off and do not sketch or paint.  Which is better?  Is any sketch better than no sketch?

I sketched at the dining table with Micron 005 colored ink pens and colored pencils in the big coffee table book.


 Number 3, green, Number 4 glass and Number 5, iron - subbed brass

After looking at my sketch in the photo I realized that the pot is much rounder so I fixed it a little.


Now maybe I tilted the picture or got the pot tilted.  Anyway it is better than it was.


Number 6, design for outside - Gene's rain gauge on a post.  Gene worked the design to get the gauge level on the post.  The gauge is electronic and gives the temperature and rain  to be read on the other receiver in the house.

Schedules are like commissions - they don't make me happy to paint.

Glad to see you are sketching. I have been sketching but not much fits the hunts or else it isn't done from life.

Bag Blog, maybe that is the thing. Turns from fun to homework.

Joan, thank you. Some of mine are not from life either so don't fit the Hunts. Nice to see you. We've warmed up, hope you have, too.
