Jim and I celebrated Saint Patty's Day by popping into the Port Townsend Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship hall (whew, that's a mouthful!) to listen to Dr. Kees Kolf speak on biomass and it's hazards to the local population. We'd heard him speak on this same issue on other occasions, so I listened with one ear while sketching with the other hand... maybe my brain will work better that way? Anyway, the Fellowship Hall was crowded, but I didn't have time to draw masses of heads and chairs. I'm really enjoying later filling in the ink drawings with color. We left afterward and ended up at our favorite lunch place, the Hudson Point Cafe, where I did another sketch of the neighboring table and the sailboat at the pier outside of the window. I haven't finished that one, yet.
That's a fun drawing. You've really caught the individuality of each person, yet they make a nice grouping, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marian. I enjoyed "dressing up" the folks later in their respective clothing colors. The only one I truly remembered was the gentleman who was turned around backwards.
DeleteI like how you strengthened the composition by simplifying the background. Also the guy looking the other way really adds a note of humor.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Roger. He was the guy in charge of the Power Point projection equipment in the center aisle, and was innocently cooperative in his allowing me a fun central focus for the sketch.
