I think the best time to use natural light from my window is early morning....That is also good before chores and other disturbing things,.....

This is a small plastic heart that is used to strengthen your hand muscles. fits in the palm of your hand
Neocolor l crayons A5 sketch pad about an hour maybe less...

# 9 Small White Jug

Real life sometimes gets in the way of well made plans...... on Wednesdays I usually travel to my daughter in the Jerusalem area.... come home on Thursday..... which is weekly shopping day... I know if I manage the time better I may be able to do sketches on those busy days.... but this week --nada... then cam Friday --morning cleaning and laundry and also had the the grand-kids for the weekend so there went 4 full days... I almost felt it was ages... Yesterday I made my light box... have to figure the lighting ... my small LED flashlight doesn't make much of impression... so I am using natural light from window or spot from desk lamp...

# 9 Small White Jug.... Cardboard covered with cloth - under painting acrylic almost black [chromatic]
Neocolor l crayons  about an hour.

# 9 Small White Jug 

Placement of the jug was too low... and a little lopsided!!!   

This small jug 8x10 cm is a souvenir from the spa town Baden Baden in Austria... used to drink the waters!!  

# 8 Red Grapefruit

When I spotted the grapefruit I really like the patterns it made... but not happy with the results... mainly too much overworking on the crayons.... decided to try on regular cut board without the cloth and it really didn't have the same tooth...

20x20 cutting board Neocolor l crayons. About an hour... Colors from the scan are way too bright

Tweaked Grapefruit

Tried to remove some of the paint but board began to fray so stopped... Not much I could do... took a photo this time so the colors are better but not exact...

Time to move on!!!
