        Welcome to Scavenger Hunt #597

        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 stickie on Art from Life forum:

        https://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! Scavenger Hunt #61 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!

        The list for Scavenger Hunt #597: August 01 to 09

        zipper
        pulley
        roadway
        train tracks
        tire treads

        wet this item to use it
        dry this item to use it
        feels heavy
        feels light
        feels prickly

        spring
        gears
        door latch
        fingernail
        palm of your hand

        sounds good
        sounds bad
        smells good
        smells bad
        looks good

        looks bad
        tastes good
        tastes bad
        protection from the sun
        protection from sharp objects
        spherical

        again the challenge is to draw something that you personally find challenging. It might be an egg, shoelaces, a spoon

        But above all else, have fun!!

        Cheers,

                Well I did not make my goal to draw every day today but I did spend some time searching for a pulley and trying to decide on the “bad” items. :evil:

                Keep sketching

                            Hi there,

                            I got out the pastels and painted from the garage. Gotta keep the painting fingers in the dust. On MiTeintes paper, about an hour.

                            Number 1, roadway – the dirt roadways in front of the house.

                            Forgot to show my easel and painting in the shot. Next time.

                                    1 pulley Took a while to find one but wandering in garage I looked up and saw a few. Picked the one on the ladder but there is another pair to store ladder. Image is about 3×5 inch. 2B graphite.

                                    Was very quick as drawing looking up and down got tiresome fast.:evil:

                                    Keep sketching

                                    Hi again!
                                    Joe, thanks. You did a great job on the pulley. Looking up is hard. Nice find as well.

                                        Jo: Lovely start of our Hunt. Beautiful pastel.

                                        Joe: Nicely done pulley… clever…I am thinking of mine…

                                                Jo – Thanks

                                                Ai – nicely done on the ball. Highlight, shadow and lots of color. I like how you did the hatching that the feather looks light and the rock looks heavy. The flower definitely looks to qualify as prickly. :eek:

                                                Hope to get a couple done today. Had planned on a feather and maybe a ‘god’ thing or 2.

                                                Keep sketching

                                                    Jo – well done on the treed road into your property :)

                                                    Joe – AHA you found a pulley – and I bet it’s the first time you’ve ever drawn one :)

                                                    Ai – good spherical, feather, and rock. Oooh that prickly “crown of thorns” indeed looks spiky and dangerous :)
