    Posted for Robin, we are sorry to lose her as a host. She posted this about the same time last year.

    These are the hunting rules:
    – All items must be sketched or painted from life — no photo references nor from imagination.
    – Be as “creative” with the subjects as you want. Multiple subjects in a single drawing/painting is fine. Count them all!
    – No time limit on the sketches… as much or as little detail as you wish.
    – Any medium is welcomed.
    – All items need to be drawn or painted new from the date this scavenger hunt starts.
    – No certain order for completion. Number as you go to keep track of how many you’ve done.
    – Feel free to ad a tidbit about the item and/or what made you select it.
    – Have fun

    Hi Everybody- here’s hopin’ for fun sketching time…….

            Hi EP and all… Thanks Jo for substitute for Robin.
            Robin: I hope you can come back to us soon.

            #1 corner of pretzels…snack package…etc… I am combining my sketch with “Day 2 of National Poetry Writing Month or Day2 of NaPoWriMo2019”.

            Ai, I like the girls’ idea. The snacks are sketched so well. Great direct painting with wc. Cute poem. Congrats on being first, too.

            Hi, EP.

            I sketched in the big book with a Prismacolor pencil that was in my cup of pencils and pens. I wonder how long since the last time it was out of the cup.

            Number 1, hand holding something
            Number 2, bottom of something – Gene’s Easter bunny, named March Hare. He got it early for good behavior.

                Ai – great poem and super sketches of the pretzels in particular. When is your trip?

                Jo – seems like that bunny is asking for a tummy rub :)

                    EP: The girls and Tone are visiting their grandma in Alabama this Friday and stay there for 10 days. I won’t be flying with them this time due to some teaching load at work.

                    Jo: Thanks… Yes, agree with EP… you did so well with the bunny…it felt so soft and inviting for a rub.

                            Jo — Thanks for posting a nostalgic list — vintage Robin :heart:

                            Robin — Please come by more often. I’ve been very much missing your sketches with their warmth and cheer and whimsy…

                            EP —Thanks for taking an extra event!

                            Ai — Your sketch is brilliant. Alive with color and shape. And your poems (here and on previous event), are wonderful. Your love of family is beautiful.

                            Jo again — You draw softness so beautifully. Wonderful, comforting sketch!

                            9 — Welcome back!!! I loved you watercolor on the last event and look forward to more of your work. I think you’re already better than you know. Your watercolor was full of personality and color and uniquely yours.

                            About sketchbooks and watercolor, I think some of the people here may have mentioned that they have a separate sketchbook for their watercolors.

                            Just as an example, I have an “Arches” spiral bound sketchbook for watercolor called “Carnet de Voyage” (Travel Book).

                            It has very thick cold press watercolor paper:
                            ….. 300 g/m2 = 140 lb.

                            It has the elongated shape that I love:
                            ….. 6″ x 10″

                            It’s great for quick sketches, and also for more detail later if you want!

                            I have another one. NOT spiral bound. By “Cartiera Magnani” and called “Italia acquerello”. The pages easily disengage if you want to remove them, but stay in otherwise. I love that even more than the spiral bound (for my purposes).

                            It also has the elongated, thick, cold press paper:

                            ….. 4.5″ x 9″

                            ….. 300 g/m2 = 140 lb.

                            Although both examples above are the same weight and both are cold press, I like the second example better. The cold press texture is slightly more subtle, and the “white” of the paper is slightly more pleasing to me. But truly, I love them both!

                            These are old so I don’t know what is currently available, but I’m sure there are a lot of options out there in all kinds of sizes and bindings.

                                                    My Mom gave me this little butterfly figure when I was a little girl. To me, butterflies symbolize healing, and freedom, and joy (like Ai’s artwork), and all sorts of good stuff.
