Again, three more days, three more sketches. I think this is the longest I've ever stuck to a challenge like this. It hasn't been easy and it has eaten into my painting time but I think it's been worth.

| Day 19 - Abandoned Dodge Truck - Daily Sketch Challenge May 2020 |
I decided to stick with a fine pen for this one, a Copic Multiliner .05 except for the darkest parts where I used a .1. This means all shading was done with hatching. I found this old abandoned Dodge farm truck in the rural central Utah town of Loa.

| Day 20 - Abandoned Country Store - Daily Sketch Challenge May 2020 |
I stuck with the fine pen for this one but then colored it with watercolor washes. The old country store actually exists, at least it did the last time I visited Boulder City, Utah. The vintage tow truck out back was taken from another reference photo.

| Day 21 - Winter Barn and Fence - Daily Sketch Challenge May 2020 |
Time was short this morning so I had to keep today's sketch simple, so I went with a winter scene, the fact that most of the ground is covered in snow helped keep it minimalist. The composition as it sat in the refence photo was almost perfect, everything leading to the focal point, the abandoned barn. I especially liked that wrecked fence gate in the foreground, it pointed right up the snow ridge and to the barn, I did add a little tuft of grass in the lower left to point to the fence. I found this scene in the small rural farming community of Eden, Utah in Ogden Valley.
