Tall Dusty Sketch

Yep, I sketched tall in pastels and also sketched in ink.  Finished the ink first so it is here first.  I was sketch-painting with my pastels and was about halfway through needing a break.  About that time, Gene called.  He was out on his trike and was having problems with his phone/podcast.  I decided to just go instead of trying to help on the phone.  It gave me an excuse to get out of the house and sketch something different.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 113  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-113-may-3-may-11.6831/page-3

 

Number 7 foiliage - a mix of "stuff" on a corner a few blocks from the house.  There were a couple of rocks and a brick on the ground.  A brick?  Odd place to find one.  Maybe someone had a garage sale sign or something there at one time and had a brick for weight.    The sketch is in the small Canson travel sketchbook with the Acurit 03 pen.

Number 8 ceramic - garlic jar
Number 9 tall - the copper fireplace match stick holder
Number 10 delights - garlic, it is a delight to eat and to paint

This is on a wiped off piece of paper, not sure what kind, with an assortment of pastels.

And the setup.  I should probably get a new piece of paper and foam core to hold it.  Looks pretty messy.  Doesn't bother me...

    I think your pastel sketch is pretty darn nice.

    bag blog, fun when you get to paint things you like. I like painting copper and silver, but don't do it much. I need more "models". Thank you so much. :-)
