January 30 x 30 Challenge #2 Relaxing in the Jacuzzi

January 30 x 30 Challenge  #2 Relaxing in the Jacuzzi

Think warm,bubbling water overlooking the view of the drainage pool and the surrounding... water is about
37 degree Celsius = 98.6 degree Fahrenheit  Simply delicious!!!!

The photo for this was taken quite a while ago.... since then the wood floor has been replaced by synthetic grass  UGH!!!! But the water is the same!!!

Have returned to my favorite square format.  20 x 20 cm.  Heavy brown paper which has a distinct texture.Wax pastels, some medium to soften, and pencil... After sketching  with the crayons I felt it needed a softer look while some of the papers texture was lost...

January 30 x 30 Challenge #1 Drainage Pool View

January 30 x 30 Challenge  Hamei Yoav   View of Drainage Pool

A new year and a new art challenge!!! So Happy New Year to all and good luck on the challenge!!! A special thanks to Leslie for letting us participate in these unique challenges!!!

A time to put our creative juices running.   This is my third challenge and I am very excited first because of the subject and second is that I find myself less stressed then in previous challenges.   This time I will be using various media and formats, mostly small, mainly oils, crayons (Caran d'ache Neo Color I ) and maybe just pencil or charcoal sketches. My motto will be three S'es  Small  Simple Spontaneous.

My subject this time is Hamei Yoav our favorite spa..... with natural sulfur hot baths.... so this will give me a wide range of images which will include landscapes, trees and foliage, people, ducks and geese, and maybe even cats..... The spa is in the south near Kiryat Gat  and Ashkalon about a 45 minute drive.

My first entry is a general view of the fenced in drainage pool.  There is a nice walkway around the pool as well as umbrellas and chairs and tables for those that want to be outside.  The pool also is the home of many ducks and geese.

30 x 20 cm  Heavy Brown Paper Caran D'ache neocolor I, water resistant wax pastels and regular ballpoint pen.

 Hidden under the labels is a link to Location and a google map... Its quite huge so in order to get where you are you have to make it smaller... so I pasted a small image of my location... Blue circle is starting point and red balloon is the spa.
