Clothes Pegs sketch

 Clothes Pegs © Evelyn Howard 2010

This is my submission for Twenty Minute Challenge.

Ok, it’s a boring subject… I’ve had these pegs for a long time. I use them to make sure pages of my sketch books stay open, so that paint that I dab on doesn’t smudge while it dries. I wanted to paint the pegs before, but I could not find the motivation to finish a piece. So knowing that I only had to spend 20 minutes somehow made it easier.

I only have 4 pegs to play with, so once I got the composition right, I was happy. I finished drawing in 15 minutes, and spent the remaining 5 minutes on the white outline. Against my normal style, I had to work fast. The lines ended up uneven and I made a few mistakes. Overall I am happy with the piece – I think that I am slowly learning to live with imperfections.
