Sketching Folk Musicians in the Pub


These sketches are from a lovely evening last week, listening to Carolan folk music in the pub, with sketchbook in hand (naturally). I love sketching to music.


It was a very intimate experience, as the room was only about the size of the average sitting room!


Plus there were about the same amount of sketchers as there were musicians.


We had drawn them once before, just under a year ago. On that occasion, during a pause in the music, the man above said ' I like to draw', so I recruited him on the spot to SketchCrawl North. He joined us for our next sketchcrawl out in Edale.

Cheers! Yes, it's great fun. We have a local blues festival at the end of the month, so I will have another opportunity soon,

i have a question, do you watercolor first or draw first? and if you draw first what type of black pencil do you use that doesnt smear when you use watercolor?
