771 – Raining at the barbecue

Here is a sketch I did a few days ago for the Doodlewash prompt of “barbecue” – for 11 June. The barbecue is the black thing – with the rubbish bins placed conveniently next to it. It was raining and gloomy as I drew this – but the pool was shining bright!

769 – On yer bike!

Here is my sketch for the Doodlewash prompt of “bicycle” for Sat 16 June – my cycle helmet. This was pretty difficult to draw because of the complicated shapes, but I also got mixed up between the 3D form and the zig-zag decorations.

766 – I found some balloons

Here is my very, very belated sketch for the Doodlewash prompt of “hot air balloons” for 5 June. As I sketch from life rather than photos, I couldn’t find a hot air balloon so just ordinary balloons have to do. I had to hunt around in the mall on Saturday to spot these in Ace hardware. For a change I also limited my palette to reds and blues.

765 – One on a foot

Here is my sketch for the Doodlewash prompt of “flip-flops” for Friday 15th. I drew this at my daughters gym class – all the discarded flip-flops (or slippers as people call them here) from the kids on the gym mat. To the lower left is someone watching and reading…and their foot!

762 – Treetop

Here is my sketch for the Doodlewash prompt of “Trees” for Saturday 9 June. Of course this is only one tree…but I do enjoy painting all the varieties of palm tree.

760 – For the beach

Here is the sketch I did last night for the Doodlewash prompt of “beach” for Friday 8 June (as I said before I am all out of order for the challenge prompts!). Just in case it’s not clear, this is a face mask, which my parents gave us and which we use for snorkelling.

755 – Shark!

Here is my sketch for the Doodlewash prompt of “fish” for Thursday 7 June. This is a little coin purse I have….I was watching Jaws 2 while drawing it as well (not exactly a fish but close)!
