Ai, the skin on your onion is nicely textured. Your food looks so tasty!!! Thanks for your comment. The metal tin with the decorations was in a plant nursery/flower shop. My plein air group had our last meet up for the season there.

Jo, sorry about Gene's tooth, but how great that it was taken care of in one day! Glad to see you had some good views to sketch while waiting. Good buildings and I see a car that you snuck in there too!

Sylwia, thanks. I don't think I made it intentionally look like it was a rainy day. I have been trying to use up the paints in my plein air palette and so many of them are gritty and dirty. I ordered a new one because this one is cracking, so I don't want to add any new, clean paint. I'll just start out with fresh colors. My blues are so tainted. lol Looks like you've got some yummy treats in their wrappers for us to sample. I hope you are planning to share.

Robin, I love the faucet sketch and am chuckling at your pizza wheel. lol Good sketch of the circle chair too.

Joe, clips, candy and right angles and a plastic bottle. Nice sketches!

4 - trees casting their shadows - direct watercolor

5 - kitchenware - watercolors and ink
6 - things with right angles (packets of tea bags, tea pouch)

Robin: Thanks... love all wheel devices and the furniture. Nice faucet.

Joan: Thanks.... Gorgeous casting shadows and beautiful tea sets.

Joe1: Thanks... I like your looseness, and I agree with Jo...love the sweet and bottle.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Joan, love the tree shadows with the flag included. Lovely tea service and tea . Very fun.
We are on the road in the morning....more down the road.

 

[Sylwia J-D]

Nice sketches @joe1It.
Fantastic food selection and depiction @AiArts. I love the colourful fresh peppers and croissant.
@Robin Gillis – very nice. I like the shading on the circle chair. Looks very comfortable.

Looks like you've got some yummy treats in their wrappers for us to sample. I hope you are planning to share.

You're welcome. I have enough of them, so everyone can get some. You have some nice kitchenware.

Sylwia - Nice work on Plants. Thanks for sharing the sweets

Ep - you have lots of ’mobile‘ furniture. Nicely done.

Ntl - Interesting to find a single topic, lamps, that can fill so many hunt items.

Joan - You have definitely mastered watercolor. Enjoy studying the house and the holiday still life. Love the shady street and the shading in the tea set.

Ai - well done on the texture of the onion skin. Peppers were nicely done as well. Dinner and a beautiful view. Life is good.

Jo - Nice series. Even one of those tricky cars!

Robin - Excellent hatch work on the faucet! We had floor vents in one of our homes. We liked the forced air heat but Sharon complained that they limited how she could arrange furniture. Thanks for the memory.

Joe1 - You really captured the cellophane wrap on the candy. Well done! Clamp and bottle are nicely done as well.

Keep sketching
Joe

#2 plastic - microwave egg cooker.

#3 paper - box of tissues

All are pen and ink in pocket sketchbook and apologies for last photo. Cloudy day so took indoors with poor lighting.

Keep sketching

[AiArts]

#10 -- I want more of this ... I wish for more sketching time at a cafe, please... done in directwatercolor... this is done at a road side cafe we just discovered next to ChatPaWai Resevoir, not far from our cabin...

 

[Robin Gillis]

Ep...fun sketches. Love the bits of color. I have elec water kettle like that! I too thought of my “Uke of Happiness”. makes for smiles

sylwia... warm sketch, cool drooping leaf and ”dangerous” candy. Great background...I just need to remember to copycat your background approach adds a lot., thanks for sharing

Ai... cool airy piece. The photo of you in process gives me delicious envy...glad for you taking the time to share with us encouragement.

JoeFl...I am really enjoying the pocket sketch book approach. Maybe you should write a book.

in pocket sketch book

6 plant
7 three right angles, tile under plant, table top and foot
8. Metal..small metal drum

 

[jmfletch]

Robin - Thanks for the nomination. Cashew butter chocolate sounds scrumptious. Nice work on the room-scape and table and plant. Would be a short book. “Buy a pocket sketchbook. Have fun.”

Ai - nice line work on the leaves. Pretty view from your new found café.

EP - Like your selections except for used rarely. I use mine as much as my pencil which is why ink scares me as much as I like it, Nicely done.

Sylwia - Egg in microwave takes 50 seconds. Break the egg in the cooker. Poke the yolk with a fork. Close the lid then pop in microwave top and 50 second later…ready. Like the fruit and candy…you could also have counted the leaf too no?

#5 Used regularly - ink in pocket sketchbook. Sorry but once the idea popped in my head I could not think of anything else.

Keep sketching
Joe

 

[AiArts]

Joe: Thank you.... Nice used regularly .... I'm smiling of your description.

Robin: Thank you.... Love the furniture with plant on top sketch. Wonderful charming lines.

Sylwia-D: Thank you... Wonderful orange with leaves and candies with shadow.... Lovely glowing background.

EP: Fun fun set. Love your composition, nice uke...and stationary set
