Mahogany Sketch

Do we have any mahogany in our house?  Probably not.  I was at my desk and see this chair by the doorway.  It is wooden, maybe maple, as a sub for the mahogany item on Hunt 126.

For Scavenger Hunt 126 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-126-aug-15-aug-23.7168/


 

Number 1 mahogany - wooden chair in the large Canson sketchbook with some Micron pens and a Prismacolor chisel for the dark.  

I should have sketched the legs with a pencil instead of going freehand with ink.  Sigh.  Maybe half the chair is leaning on the wall or something.  The chair is straight and in good shape in real life.

PT day for Gene.  I will go to Hobby Lobby while I wait and look for a frame and inspiration.  I'm thinking to get some crayons to do the Crayola colors in the Hunt.  The great grands can use them when they visit.

Gotta be careful sitting on that one. lol I often get the legs wrong...or miss one. Hope you got some inspiration at Hobby Lobby.
