The Christmas cactus called for sketching a houseplant. It has one bloom left that hasn't quite opened. They were pretty this year. Very white! The sketch covers about 1/3 of the page of the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook. That makes it about 5 x 7 inches. Drawn with graphite and colored with watercolor. A few strokes of ink with a Micron 03 ended it all.
For Scavenger Hunt 182 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-182-feb-2-feb-14.8680/
Number 5 houseplant - Christmas Cactus
Before getting out the watercolors I sketched at my computer desk with a Micron'02 in the same sketchbook under the sketch of Gene so about 1/2 page. Number 3, elephant and Number 4, hand
The elephants are made of rock maybe. They say made in Kenya. Sort of heavy in a dark gray material. I don't remember where they came from. I know they were a gift so I feel bad that I don't remember. Maybe it is in my blog. I have sketched them before. I found the sketch. I didn't post about the gifter.
Also the baseball games I mentioned previously are next weekend. Two things I had the wrong date in my mind, almost the same day. Yikes. Baseball and dentist so no connection.
Your work is always so good.
ReplyDeleteR's Rue, thank you so very much. See ya later.
ReplyDeleteI saw the plant on Creative Spark, but I don't remember seeing the sketch of the elephants. I don't think I have anything elephanty here.
ReplyDeleteJoan, thanks. I sketched it way back in 2020. I sketched a few different ones and did a pastel from a photo. If you are interested put "elephant" in my search box at the top of my blog. Hugs.
