JennyJo, it is a shame that you don't have a group there.

Brian, good to see you here! That pencil sketch is amazing...love the shading! That mustard sounds a little spicy...yum!

Joe 1, Happy Easter! Your chicks are so cute! Hope the kittens don't bother them. I like your collection of ballpoint ink sketches...especially that rooster.

Ai, what a lovely, welcoming look to the cafe. Happy Easter!

Robin, what a great heart pattern in the shelving at the cafe. Fun sketch with your supplies and coffee nearby.

Fletch, what a cute ceramic Indian! What a nice piece.

I took the train into Manhattan this morning. This lady was traveling with her dog. He started out standing up with his paws on the window, but the next thing I knew he was comfy on the seat next to her.

11 - animal - watercolors and ink
12 - person

13 - free space #2 - direct watercolors (We were sketching the cherry blossoms in Central Park and the Guggenheim Museum was in the background.)

Jenny Jo , I started to check on the murals here as I heard they are poublishing a book. While many of the artists are in the local art association the murals are maintained by the Punta Gorda Historical Mural Society. Here is a link with pictures of all the murals.

Joe1 - Nice set of sketches. I especially like the rooster as you can almost hear him cackling.

Joan - Keep looking at the dog and how you captured a cute little dog with a few dabs of color and a few lines. Like the trunk texture on the cherry tree too.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL,

Keep sketching
Fletch

The brand I find at our local grocery is Coleman’s. I put it on my shopping list! Spicy is good!

Hi to all, and happy Easter.

"double headers" ( two baseball games in one day ) Thursday and yesterday. I brought my sketchbook to the games, but I'm one of those who watches every pitch and didn't think of getting it out. Planning on a hike today and we'll see about drawing!

My "medium dark" ink in a water brush clogged -- it didn't work when I drew those pipes. This morning I took it apart and cleaned it and now it is good as new. Nice to know that's possible! I don't remember when I bought it, but it's been refilled with ink a few times and must have gone more than a year before getting clogged.

Happy Easter to everyone! It was a busy day and I didn't get any sketching done today. I hope some of you did.

Fletch, thanks for your comment about the dog. I really wanted to sketch him while he was standing up. I should have started with him instead of his owner. lol

Joe, thank you.

Jo, I hope the spicy mustard hits the spot.

Ned, sometimes we get too involved in something to actually sketch it. I hope you did a little sketching on the hike. Glad you were able to unclog the water brush. Yay!!

Robin: Thanks ... gorgeous and dazzling lines as always... beautiful shelf with items, and my fav. was the pen stand-up pouch/bag. Well done.

Joe1: Thanks. Nice animals, mug, car, and fruits.

Joan: Thanks. Beautiful spring blossom on the Central Park scene... A great captured of a passenger with the dog.

BrianD & Jo & Fletch: Thanks.

Jo, I hope the spicy mustard hits the spot.

So do I: it's a linguistic mess-up again. What Americans usually call mustard is a fairly sweet and mild sauce we know here as mustard sauce, often sold in the same kind of plastic squeeze bottles as ketchup. Our mustard is English mustard: it's very hot, like wasabi, though with both the burn only lasts a short while, unlike, say, hot chili peppers. Plus, it really clears the nasal passages.

Brian, this brand is British and says it is hot British mustard. We shall see.

joe1lt, wow, love the chicks and kittens. Happy Easter back to you. I like your mug , eggs and animals. Fun rooster!

Hi, Ned. We had baseball on Thursday to not have games on Easter. Happy your water brush cleaned up.

Ai, looks like a great restaurant for your Easter Sunday. Well done.

Robin, Lovely shelf at your coffee place. Fun find on your items. Always love your style.

Hi, Fletch! What a cute ceramic bear. You really sketched it well with form.

Joan, fun to find a person and animal in the same sketch. Love it. And, the beautiful cherry blossoms.

I sketched at the Coffee Dog while Gene was at PT so I could find some different people. I am so out of practice. People too large for the chairs, etc. Anyway, I sketched!!
Number 1 People at the coffee shop
Number 2, rock in a landscaping area on the corner
In the Canson travel sketchbook with the Acurite 03 (numbered wrong) Oops.

Ai, thanks for this Hunt. Hopefully I will get back in the grove and sketch more.

 

[Joan T]

Jo, good job finding and sketching people!

 

[AiArts]

Jo: Thanks... Wonderful people sketches, esp. the mother and child in her arms.

Thanks everyone for joining this Hunt.

 

[Joan T]

Thanks for hosting, Ai!

Jo - You did people other than Gene! Nice work. Am with Ai the woman holding the baby just hits a chord.

Ai -Thanks for hosting.
