Scavenger Hunt #267: May 5 - May 13, 2012

If you've participated in at least one Scavenger Hunt and have time to host one we would really appreciate it. You can sign up by posting your name on the current hosting schedule in the Art From Life forum here:

http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/show...366347&page=33

Here are the rules for the hunt:
*All items on the list must be sketched from life - not imagination or photo reference.

*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 on by unanimous vote among the participants.

*You may place multiple objects together in a drawing or painting, and may count these objects as separate items, but no single object can count for more than one item.

*All items posted must be numbered. Count them as you go. The first item you 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 of the items as you like. You don't have to finish the entire list to participate. The Scavenger Hunt "week" 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 for each sketch. We love hearing about your subjects and setups. Photos of your subjects are welcome.

*** If you have some hunt sketches completed but little time to read/comment, please post your sketches anyway. Commenting is appreciated but not necessary. ***

Scavenger Hunt #267: May 5 - May 13, 2012

Footstool

#1 slippery - Skinny Cow Mint ice cream sandwich for Every Day in May - ice cream sandwiches get slippery when they start to melt. This one did while I was painting it.

I'm trying to make all my EDiMs fit the hunt but don't think it is going to work much longer. So far all 5 have fit.

Re: Scavenger Hunt #267: May 5 - May 13, 2012

Hello Jo, thanks for the list.

Irwin: We bought so many packs of M& M from the US. They are more expensive in Thailand and Tone can't live without these sweet things.

J: Love your EDM, esp. the skinny cow icecreme. You did a great job on it.

Hello Paul, EP, Joan, and all, we are back to the hot air of Bangkok.

Kivrin - Love the reference book and the cozy foot sketch. Looks like we think along the same lines.

Marriam - Wonderful juicy watercolors of your paint tube and the blue clip.

This sketch of the feet was done directly in pen...thus you notice the left foot is so much fatter than the right. lol I am not deformed.
1 - footstool - ink and watercolors
2 - feet
3 - security - pencil
4 - hand

5 - window treatment - pencil
