This theme was my idea, so I think it's okay if I tweak it a bit, bend my own rules. I often draw in ink and use watercolors as I did here, but I rarely draw STANDING UP! And that is what I did when I came upon this last group getting ready to join a parade in my town last weekend. Mexican musicians making loud music on drums and a tuba; one cowboy on a horse twirling a rope lasso, and others sitting astride their horses waiting to march. There was no where to sit, so I stood and quickly drew the sombreros, horses and cowboys and instruments. I'm surprised it came out as well as it did all considered.
You chose a great subject, the parade was a perfect opportunity to draw. Love these pages Lynn, they show how busy and colourful it all was.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann, and thanks for not scolding me for shifting my own theme around to suit my fancy! ;-)

DeleteLets hear it for standing. I do all my art work standing. Love your colourful sketches
ReplyDeleteOh my! I could never do this all of the time, but was glad I had the experience. I once stood and drew a castle front behind a gate in Germany.
