At the annual Rotary Art Festival held recently in a local shopping centre, I thought the art viewers would provide a good opportunity to capture some unguarded poses but it’s amazing how quickly everyone moved and disappeared behind screens, or sensed they were being drawn and hid!
It was less obtrusive to sit on an upper level and look down at people, though they still moved fast – unaware diners at restaurants were easier but a bit distant to see properly.
And a life drawing session where I sketched some of the exhibiting artists busy drawing the models, who sat nice and still!
