Scavenger Hunt from Life #138: Nov 19-27

[NedL]

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.

[Robin Gillis]

Hi Friends - I just left some comments on the last hunt.....got so into the week that I thought the hunt was still on and was so enthused by all your works and comments....so drop back and see how much pleasure you brought of my little world.

Thanks for the list Ned. I been looking for an excuse to by a rubber duck. At work we sell them alot and there are some pretty interesting versions. Folks driving Jeep cover their dashboards with them and exchange them. Don't know if this is local or nationwide fetish? but they are only 50cent.....

 

[Joan T]

Robin, I've never seen a jeep with a dashboard covered with rubber ducks. I'll have to keep an eye out for them. I know there are a lot of stores that are filled with rubber ducks with all kinds of accessories. I have one that is an artist that I bought in Amsterdam. I've seen the stores in NYC and Venice too.
