All Media Art Events, Artwork From Life, Art JournalsHi, everyone.
EP, aww, love the chess pieces and all your items with the white accents. Mmm, I had forgotten about creamed honey, I’m going to get some for Gene. Thanks for the reminder.
I sketched on the reused pastel paper with pastels. Quick and plein air. It was about 82 degrees on the porch with lots of humidity. Didn’t stay out long.
Number 1, pretty – the wildflowers, Spiderworts and Mexican Hats

Jo, love the flowers, the spider worts are a gorgeous colour, well done and on recycling pastel paper…:)Scatty ....

EP – Congrats on bring first. I really like the white highlights on toned paper. The 3 chess pieces were excellent choices. We have jugs of vinegar as it is my wife’s go to cleaner. You play lacrosse?
Jo – You know I love pastels. That is gorgeous. (Would make a great spring time pic for a calendar.)
Pine Cone, Joan, Scatty –
Keep sketching

Trying something very different. The adjective Religious reminded me of a drawing I have wanted to do for years. So I will probably only get one thing done for the hunt but will try to post updates. (WIPs) Hopefully it will be a finished work by the end of this hunt.
Image size is approximately 8×5 inches. I will be using multiple grades of graphite. So far it is all 5H and 4H using 2 mm clutch pencils and lots of eraser :wink2: I have spent a little over 2 hours on it. Measuring, sketching, erasing, resizing and studying. Drawing will be about 2-3 times life size.
WIP #1
Keep sketching

Hi Scatty and all the rest. Thanks.
Joe, wow, that will be a work of art. Pretty and old crucifix on a rosary it looks like. Nice. Gene’s mom used to make one or more rosaries a day. I think we figured she had made more than 10,000 during her 94 years.
I sketched in the big book with a Micron 02.

My website https://jocastilloart.comEP — Cool group, and especially love the grace of the chess pieces! Your toned paper is a most gentle and lovely way to present your sketches!
Jo — What a lovely tribute to your friends! And I feel like I can reach out and pick the deep purple flowers from my screen.p 💐 I’ve put them in a glass of water in my mind
What an amazing woman Gene’s Mom must have been – that’s a meaningful legacy and an inspiring story to hear 
Joe — Oh what a wonderful way to start back here with your sketches! I’m looking forward to the continuation of the WIP, and hope you’ll tell us more of your brother, and your life during your time in the seminary. I think I can understand wanting to sketch something for such a long time. I’ve postponed sketches that might mean the most (like your gift from your brother) because I knew I could never do them justice. But perhaps you know that simply making that effort is all that matters. It means such a great deal. Thanks for sharing your effort, and your story.
