Welcome to the Hunt... you all !!!

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-4
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 listless, 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

Thanks for the list, Ai, I hope I can do a few more.
That's a couple of bloomin' plants for sure, Sylwia. :cool:
Neat-o, eye paint.
 
And my offering, lamps of many kinds: metal, a glass table lamp, plastic camper lantern, one with a small wood base--the salt lamp. These were all 2 minute sketches.

EP, good job on your sketches. You found lots of wheels and right angles...even the bookcase has right angles.

Sylwia, nice work on the plant. You captured that turned/bent leaf really nicely!

ntl, wow...I feel like I'm in a lamp shop with all your variations. Nicely done.

1 - building - watercolors

EP, look at you fly, I like your wheels! Great perspective on the chair. I like the colors on the bookcase. Fun glass cup!

Sylwia, I like your plant with the watercolor. Background makes it pop.

ntl, your lamps are perfect and such a great variety. I'm smiling.

Joan, nice building with the lamp post and clock. Lovely Christmas tree can with bells. Mmmmm.

Ai, I admire the onion. They are fun to draw and paint. We don't eat many onions at home so always have to buy them as art objects.

Gene broke a tooth so we had to go to the dentist today. It was amazing, they fixed the tooth, made the crown, and put it in, in just over 2.5 hours. No more impressions and waiting for 3 weeks with a temporary. No restrictions about eating or any of that. Wow. I sketched out the window ... In the ArtStreet sketchbook with a Micron 02.
Number 1, building - the farmers market place
Number 2, plant - in the waiting room
Number 3, rocks - in the wall along side the city hall and some rocks on the building, just over the wall.

@ntl – nice collections of lamps. Superb sketched.
@Joan T – lovely watercolours. Love the building. It looks like rainy days.
@AiArts – Seems I'm not the only one who portrayed vegetables before cooking. Superb sketch and shadows.
Great ink sketches @Jo Castillo

Waiting 3 weeks for the dentist visit could be really painful.


#2 food – some sweets

Thanks, all.

Sylwia, nice sweets. Yummy.

Ai, mmmm, the peppers are excellent. Also the food. Makes me hungry and I just ate .. breakfast taco. Ha.

Robin, some clever finds. I love the use regularly, And the wheels!! The chair is interesting, I probably couldn't get out of it. Nice lines and hatching.

On the road tomorrow, see how it goes for sketching. Will be with extended family so may not sketch much. Mostly visit.
