Beagle Puppy and Flamingo - my memory drawings from Sip & Sketch Session #75, 9/24/21

 All set to go to the session, but in the last minute I begged off.

The host kindly sends out each session’s reference pics quite soon after the class. I had a chance to see what I’d missed. The next interesting challenge from that is to write a list of the images you remember and then even try to draw them quickly! I did them on my phone with my finger. What a mess! 

   Beagle Puppy and Flamingo - my memory drawings from Sip & Sketch Session #75, 9/24/21

I was too lazy  to type the list at first. Thought it would stay scribbled. But I could not find any good image to text app. New iOS update will supposedly do a really  good job at that..

So here is my list - again practicing my memory, so it’s random.

  1. Three nectarines
  2. Three birthday cupcakes
  3. Flamingo head
  4. Woman in little black dress with poppies
  5. Obelisk and fountain
  6. Beagle puppy
  7. Grey draped figure stage set
  8. White costumed figure and stage set
  9. Floral arrangement on black




Coffee Day phone drawings, 9/29/21

 Cat and Pig like Coffee Day, digital phone drawings, 9/29/21

They may have cream and/or sugar in their coffee.

And they’ll enjoy their coffee with a bit of chit chat.

What was your weather yesterday? I don’t remember. Wet I think. Or maybe sunny! Seems sunny today though. How did you feel yesterday? I don’t remember. Today is good though. It’s starting to get cold out again. Yes, we are going around. ….Somewhere somehow we remember seeing a photo of big green northern lights. Now where did we see that photo…?
