Welcome to the Scavenger Hunts from Life. The Hunts were started in 2006 by Jamie Williams Grossman as a way to practice with prompts. Artists have come and gone while forming some lasting friendships. We hope you will join in and tune up your sketching skills. All levels and techniques are welcome. We hope you can have some good times here. You can travel the world seeing the sketches of items at hand by the artists.

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:
https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-host-sign-up-list.2481/

Here are the rules for the Hunt:
*All everyday common 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.
*Have fun!
*** If you have some hunt sketches completed but little time to read/comment, please post your sketches anyway. Commenting is appreciated but not required

Good list Joe, thanks. Interesting challenge too although having read that I went back to the list and read through again and my brain read ..... Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and then Sewage instead of Beverage - eek!
 
Thanks for the list! Hope to sketch some. Too many choices now for which book, tool, etc.

#1 jewelry - My wedding ring. It has a NA bear design. Drew this in 3.5x5.5 inch sketchbook. Actual ring image is about 1.5x2 inches using multiple grades of graphite. Also playing with macro photography on iPhone. Trying to learn how to use the iPhone camera

Beautiful wedding ring sketch Joe! What is a NA Bear design?
The bear is sacred to many Native American tribes. Bear totems typically have a bear carving with a feather or sometimes an arrow tied to its back. Drawings or graphic images tend to be more stylized. Here is a photo of a marble bear with an arrow head and a feather.
