Two more days of my daily sketch challenge in the books and only one more to go.

| Day 29 - Rural Landscape - Daily Sketch Challenge May 2020 |
This one was experimental. I saw a video on YouTube by Dave Cusher where he used a stick sharpened to a point to put down some lines with ink, and then also scumbled ink with the side of a brush to create textures. This technique intrigued me so I sharpened a piece of balsa wood I had and had a go at it. I think I really needed to use a worn brush for the scumble technique. My reference was a photo I took somewhere in Cache County, Utah late autumn a few years ago. The barn wasn't in the photo but the top of a house was sticking up in that area which gave me the idea to add a barn there from my imagination. Here's a photo of my stick and ink pot;
The penultimate sketch of the challenge was not a very happy one.

| Day 30 - Abandoned Mack Truck - Daily Sketch Challenge May 2020 |
Maybe the less said about this one the better, I'm really only sharing it out of an interest in transparency since I'm not happy with it at all. This was a mixed media sketch using watercolor, charcoal and pastel pencils and the subject is an abandoned antique Mack truck. We'll leave it at that.
