Scavenger Hunt #277 Jul 24 - Aug 1

[Jo Castillo]

If you've done at least one Scavenger Hunt and have time to host one, we'd really appreciate it! You can sign up by posting your name and the current hosting list Sticky on Art from Life forum:

http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=366347

Here are our rules for this Hunt:

* All items on the list must be sketched from life--not imagination nor photo references
* Each object you draw can count for only one item on the list, no matter how many shapes/parts/colors that object contains. This was agreed to by unanimous vote among the participants
* You may place multiple objects together in a drawing or painting, and may count those objects as separate list items, but no single object can count for more than one list item.
* All items posted must be numbered. Count them as you go. The first item you sketch and post will be #1 regardless of its place on the list. Do them in whatever order you wish, but count them in the order in which you sketch them, from 1 to 26.

Do as many or as few items as you like; you don't have to
finish the entire list to participate! This Hunt will last for 9 days, with the next hunt starting on the 9th day.

Please tell us your size, surface, medium, and the amount of time it took you to do each sketch. We love hearing about your subjects and setups. Photos of your subjects are also welcome!

I did some sketching last night and today I had a bit rough meeting in the morning, so in the afternoon, I decide to take a little break, grabbing my sketchbook and headed to the main library. I did all the lines at the place, and later came home for coloring. The kids were closely supervising me for the coloring task.

#1 blue -- a glass paper weight, wc & pencil
#2 statue -- a bust of Beethoven, pencil
#3 fishes -- a pair of my earrings



Below, is the section of the library where people are required to take off their shoes, then they can work/talk to their friends by sitting on the floor with the low-rise tables.
#4 big appliance -- a big screen TV
#5 small appliance -- a notebook computer
#6 small tables
#7 row -- of chairs
#8 made of glass -- a CCTV camera
#9 soft -- two people


#10 shelfs

Hi, Joan.

EP, first out of the gate! I like your restaurant/coffee shop scene. You are doing great on the spot sketches.

Paul, very cool beach sketch. Looks very comfy.

Hanneke, it will be fun to see how many you do in order. Applause already!

Ai, you have really adapted to sketching all the time. Beautiful and meaningful work. You will have such treasures for your girls. I like the blue glass paperweight of course. Nice skyline and stairs.

Bonnie, hi there.

Maybe I can sketch today.

Thanks so much Bonnie and Jo.
