The model came a bit late, so I started with a sketch of the benches, then two volunteer “models” (fellow artists), and then all the rest are of the model. I actually find that I like these sketches more a few hours after making them rather than right away. I think it’s time to pick up some more art supplies..see where I can take this!
Alina organized a sketchcrawl in Pasadena today. I got to see a bunch of friends I hadn’t seen in a while, as well as some great friends from work and I met many dly new artists. Here are some watercolors. The first is of the Pasadena City Hall Building, and the others are of people hanging out in an outdoor mall courtyard.
Stayed home sick today, but I had my pal Gurdas Mann to cheer me up!
Let him cheer you up too.
He’s awesome, but a lot of the cds tend to be
too synthesized for my tastes, though I can’t help but listen because it is Gurdas Mann after all, but these two live recordings are great! Must find some cds more like this. Any recommendations?
Attended Mohini Banerjee’s Bharat Natyam Arangetram and her brother Vivek Banerjee’s Tabla Rangapravesh at UCLA Saturday. These are possibly the two most multi-talented kids I know of. Mohini is also a music student of Lalita Sharma, who I also took vocal lessons with. That makes them all like family, so I feel really proud. It’s a pleasant reminder of how much we are all capable of if we put our minds to it and work really hard. Managed a few quick watercolor sketches during the performance. I’m still working out where to go with these types of fast sketches. Must do more work…
Here is a mix of 3 and 5 minute water color sketches from a lunch time figure drawing class.
Did these watercolors in the dark at Blue13 dance company’s performance of Karishma. A lot of times when I do these, often sitting at some performance by myself, I can hardly see anything, and it all looks like junk in the dark. It’s always a pleasant surprise to find what I was actually able to capture once the lights come back on. It doesn’t hurt that the performers are so talented either!
