The end of the Hunts often come before I actually finish more than a few sketches. I think my average now is about 10. My high was about 15. I did finish all 26 items a few times.
This sketch was done on a camp chair out in the driveway in the shade Thursday morning. The umbrella is from Canada, obviously. We got it for golf so it is very large. It was well used and has really held up. It has to be at least 16 years old. Even when it wasn't used it has been in the back of the cars and probably on the bottom of the pile when we traveled or at least moved around a lot.
I sketched with the Micron 03 and then added some of the Blick gray marker pens. The red was a Splash brush-pen, ink.
For the end of Scavenger Hunt from Life 40
Number 9 car - it does not have a flat
Number 10 umbrella
Blogger wouldn't post my image last night. We will see if it works now. You can usually click to see it a bit larger.

I like the little red splash. Also the light to dark is good - especially with a marker.
Great sketch. Sounds like you got a lot of use out of the umbrella. I was having trouble with blogger yesterday too and tried to post over and over. It wasn't working! Finally I clicked on the image after I selected it and I was able to upload it. It is strange how all of a sudden I had to post it differently.
Joan, thanks. Still a good umbrella! Blogger uploaded the image every time so have many copies in the archives someplace. Ha.
bag blog, for years I added dollops of red ink someplace on the black and white ink drawings. There are 6 shades of gray in the markers but the 3 dark shades are very similar.
