A couple of sketches done for the Twenty minute Challenge…
This is the first time I have grown onions and the first time I have managed to plait them together! I know that this is only a short plait – some of it dropped away when I picked it up… I shall use the other onions first and keep my plait hanging in the kitchen as long as possible.
(I am a little worried that I may be alarmed by a big bang as the plait falls to the floor in the middle of the night!)
I love to draw seed heads; poppy seed heads have a particularly fascinating appearance. It is such fun to shake the seeds from the little pepper-pot heads, once the holes under the top plate have opened. I save them for use in the kitchen.

I love the freshness of your "twenty minute" works, but I also love the detail you get when you "plod" (I do that, too!)
I love your sketch! I also love the freshness of your quick sketches. I find quick sketches capture our immediate love of the scene. Well done!
These are lovely! And 20 minutes? WOW! That's amazing!
all your work is beautiful. i think 20mins should be a breeze for you.
Great idea and shows what can be achieved in a short time. Lovely sketches, and I am massively impressed with the home-grown onion plait: let us pray that it stays in place (at least at night ...).

Very good work! Love your line!
All your sketches are quite lovely!
You did some excellent sketches in only 20 mins, onions are very good!
These are great sketches! I love your use of line.
I love the line and light wash of the onions, and that beetroot is so earthy, I can smell it. As a temporary inner city flat dweller (if that makes any sense), your blog also reminds me of what I'm missing by not having a garden or allotment.
Wonderful sketches, especially your onion plait!
