The chair is sketched beautifully Uschi — delightfully spare and unfussy!

Nice one Minerva — good to see you here!

Here’s my contribution for the final day of week #1 — I’m so getting tired of my pantry. Perspective is definitely off on this one, sketched directly with my .02 Lictin pen on my Strathmore 140# sketchbook paper. I’d over-worked it — remember that I need someone next to me saying “Put down the brush” — so I just washed off the extra paint and here it is, warts and all!

No warts Love the collection of things Kate!

Here’s what I was hoping to do, never looks like one planned though. High bush cranberry I think, at least a viburnum of some sort with old dried berries and some lovely (in person!) parchment like petals around the edges.

Cheers, Lynn

I love your choice of colors in this one Lynn. Your sketch is very delicate and the blossoms are so sweet. Interestingly, in spite of living in the US for 42 years, my knowledge of plants is very Kiwicentric so I have no idea whether your blossoms are cranberry or viburnum!

I did this view of my pond yesterday, but couldn’t post as my computer shut down. Water is very hard to do! Betty

[KiwiKate]

It’s a lovely, flowing sketch Betty! New sketching topics for the next seven days are at the top of the Studio. Hope you keep participating — it’s lovely to see your work.

I did this early this morning for yesterday. Bill

Be kinder than necessary

[KiwiKate]

I really like this one Bill, particularly how you’ve used the pen to indicate shading and contours. The is much for me to learn from your style.

I didn’t have a chance to post my sketch yesterday so here it is along with today’s. My Nasty palette & Kitchen Utensils. My palette actually looks worse than this!

Minerva…Beautiful pot of leaves…will be waiting to see that orchid!

Kate…Super drawing, as usual…you have some interesting things in your pantry!

Lynn…Nice one…the white petals pop really well…good color choice for bg.

Betty…Very simple & effective sketching…lovely.

Oh Maribeth, these are wonderful. Your palette is stunning (no really — I’d frame it!) and your kitchen utensils are arranged and sketched beautifully.
