I have an eclectic collection of wooden utensils in my kitchen. Sketched in pencil plus Cretacolor Graphite Aquarell pencil, then watercolour.

Local eggs
I can’t recall where I got this wire basket, nor do I know if it’s intended for eggs.
Squash Harvest
One of the Sketch Book Skool videos I watched was on cross hatching, a technique I remember really liking way back in high school art class. Just for fun, I used it here with quite a thick pen, then laid in the colour. I’m proud to say that, with the cooperation of Mother Nature, I grew the acorn squash and Cinderella pumpkin. (Lesson learned: consider which pigments are transparent enough to let the pen line show through)
Sketchbook restart
Thanks to some tips from Sketch Book Skool I got myself restarted drawing regularly again. First “exercise”: using pencil and no eraser, observe carefully, be deliberate with the line, don’t give up, don’t worry about a suitable subject, just draw what’s in front of me.
From another Sketch Book Skool excercise — draw in pen, no pencil outline to start. Observe, slow down and draw. So, even in this quick sketch (less than 5 min.) you can get plenty of information down on paper
