Another great painting of the rather serious young man who makes up the trio. I think we are all concentrating on hand positions, so it's good that the theme makes us focus hard on them. You've got the hands and arms really well here. One of the interesting things about musicians is how they come to choose which instrument/s they want to play. The double bass is one of those instruments that make me wonder about it …… though that's nothing compared with the harp, I suppose. The three sketches would look good as a triptych.
I think in some ways the instruments find the players! :) Also, there are stereotypical personalities. Like for the bass, usually they're a little more laid-back and fun, the jokesters in the orchestra (at least in the classical world)
Thanks everyone! I would have sketched the trio that day in the park, but I was with the NYC Urban Sketchers and we were moving from one location in the park to another. I'm not in any way musical, so I try to pay careful attention to the hand positions. Enjoy!
