The new Scavenger Hunt from Life 60 has some vague ideas that you can almost pick anything to sketch. We've had head of lettuce, neck of a bottle, fingers of a glove, etc. Fun. We've also had lots of people sketches for the body parts.

I decided to sketch two different of a kind, but in one sketch, so do I count that as 1 or 2 items.
It doesn't really make a difference as long as we sketch. We are allowed substitutes, we just have to sketch from life.
Number 1, pair or two different of a kind - our coffee cups this morning. I had a pottery cup and Gene drinks out of a metal Canteen mug to keep his coffee hot. They are on the leg of the glider which has a hole for your cup or glass. I sketched with a pencil and used watercolor. It was too loose so I added some ink with a Micron 03 and a Prismacolor chisel pen.
Blick Art Materials (Dick Blick) has some good prices on Canson sketchbooks. They didn't have any the other day when I bought the Strathmore Visual Journal.

Good job with the watercolor! I like the Gene's cup - nice shading and it sets in the hole well.
Thanks, bag blog. I'm still feeling like I'm not painting with the watercolors. One of these days..... :-)
Fun to see the different coffee cups/mugs you are using. I like how you added the glider arm too. I'll have to check out Blick's website. I should stock up on some Canson sketchbooks and get some paint too. When I stop at the actual store they rarely have the sketchbooks I want.
Thank you, Joan. Yes, I should stock up. I did buy a "pair" of the watercolor sketchbooks last time when I was looking for the small one. Never think of buying ahead!
It's been a very long time since I've done one of these scavenger hunts. Love that you are still at it. I should get back to it.
Good job Jo 👏
ashok, thanks. Always fun to see your photos and your art.
R's Rue, thanks. Have a great week.
Have a lovely day.
R's Rue, back at ya. Hope you are rested up.
Helen, thanks. The Scavenger Hunts have sure kept me going. I can get in a quick sketch when I'm waiting someplace, etc. Takes longer to post! Thanks for commenting and sorry it took me a couple of days to answer. Sometimes the email doesn't come and I forget to go and search the comments.
