Hunting for the Spark

The Scavenger Hunts have morphed into the Scavenger Hunts from Life on creativespark.com.  It is a friendly place and not so many artists.  

For Hunt #1

Number 4 steps -  Sketched from our walk yesterday.  The porch and steps where I spend so much time sketching with a Sharpie pen in a travel sketchbook.
 

Number 5 view out the window - view out the porch screen, digital on my iPad with the app, Brushes.  About 30 or more minutes.  Always takes more time to sketch digitally.


Number 6, open book and Number 7, favorite art tool - my big sketchbook and my Micron 02 pen.
 

Here is a photo of me sketching in the big book.


Yesterday we went for a walk and I sketched the porch from the first bridge.  We walked to the third bench and I sketched a couple more sketches in the travel sketchbook with the Sharpie pen.

Some trees along the bank.


Three fishermen on their small one person boats.  They seemed to be having fun although the closest one admitted to not catching anything.

Joan, thank you. I sketched my hand sketching like that once before and put it on sketchbooks for gifts.

Jennifer Rose, thank you. It is a fine line sharpie that says, Sharpie Pen. I hadn't seen them before.
