Pastel Sketch Hunt 100 Items

Hunt 100 not 100 items! I did find several and put them together for a quick pastel sketch. I used a new piece of the Lux Archival paper, 8 x 10 inches.  I found the items, put on an alcohol under painting of the base colors.  I sketched with various pastels for about an hour and 15 minutes all together.

For Scavenger Hunt 100  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-100-jan-21-jan-28.6506/

Numbers 1 - 5 :  jar, blue/book, cup (measuring), yellow, egg

I was also doing a bit of homework for Enid's class.  Today is "High Chroma Accents".  I think the red on the book and table might count.  We shall see.

The deadline for the Austin Pastel Annual Juried Show is Sunday.  Have you entered?  I have not.  It is just too difficult at this time to paint, frame, deliver, etc., and deal with everyday  chores at my age.  I don't have the umph to work on deadlines and rules.  

Natasha Isenhour will be the judge.  We met her in Red River a few years ago.  Great artist. She is from Socorro, New Mexico, almost home!  Maybe I will get to see her while she is here in March.

And here is the setup for my sketch.

This came out really super. I like the highlights on the jar and the edge of the measuring cup. Looks like a keeper.

Thanks, Joan. I like it, too. Not very happy with the egg. I may work on it a bit more or more likely a good photo and wipe it off. Ha. I like the paper a lot. Nice and flat for the lines and under painting.
