Scavenger Hunt from Life #189: Apr 27 - May 9



Fletch was scheduled for this Scavenger Hunt, but it seems that he isn’t ready to post. I hope all is OK with him and Sharon. I don’t want to step on any toes, but here is a list so we can get started. Fletch can save his list for his next turn.



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/page-10

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 12 days, with the next hunt starting on the 12th 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.

1 - “special to you” — Joe and Sharon “Fletch”

Some of the people who’ve been doing these SH events for awhile maybe remember that Joe/Fletch is the father of the ProCreate digital app efforts that many of us continue to attempt to this day.

Joe/Fletch encouraged me to give it a try, forgave my protests, encouraged me some more, and changed my life — as it resulted in a new iPad then, new happiness and learning, a whole new world of creativity. And because of all that Joe/Fletch did for me, all these years, my creative life has continued, with new and old meanings mixing, despite becoming homeless.

Joe/Fletch learns, and teaches learning. He offers encouragement and stepping stones to help us discover and portray the wonders, and also the difficulties, of life on Planet Earth.

—————————-

So when Joan kindly posted this event, I hurried and cut out a paper heart from a paper towel so I could sketch it for Joe and Sharon “Fletch” in the ProCreate app that they introduced me to.

With love and gratitude to Joe and Sharon, and Joan, and everyone here……

And here’s a pic of the paper towel heart “model”…..

Thanks for the list Joan, hopefully Fletch just forgot. That's happened to me.

Pine Cone -- I like the smooth lines and the colors.

Pine Cone, that is such a sweet heart for Fletch and Sharon. I like the elongated style and the colors. I didn't realize he had taught you so much about Procreate.

Ned, I'm hoping he just forgot it was his turn. Being a caregiver at home sometimes turns your days around a bit. I know I've forgotten too. EP used to be good at reminding people when their turn was coming. Jo or Ai usually pick up when someone is off schedule, but there are so many things that complicate our lives. I keep my hosting dates on my computer calendar with several reminders that it is coming up. Most of the time that works for me...but not always.

I'll start the hunt off...
I went to one of the local farms in the area. There was this young woman sitting on the ground surrounded by flats of plants. By the time I finished the sketch there were 4 more women helping her.
