Don was in Kansas City yesterday to demonstrate his use of Faber-Castell drawing tools at Artist & Craftsman Supply on SW Boulevard, and J. and I were delighted to get the chance to meet and talk to him. I was enthralled paging through his inspiring journals and loved listening to him talk to his interested audience (he is a LOT more relaxed in public than I am!), sketched him at work and shot a few photos. Then we all went to grab a bite at Harvey's, in Union Station.
Don ate, I sketched the above, and we talked of cabbages and kings...lots of fun!

| This couple stayed for a long time, asking questions and talking...they were interesting too! |

| Amazing sketches of people... |

| Heyyy...I've sketched this same old theatre in Kansas City...Don didn't get a chance to finish but I recognized it in a flash. |
Marvelous portraits!, Kate. I'm always amazed by Don's work too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara! I had no idea how engaging and interesting he would be--the conversations were almost as fascinating as his sketches!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sketches Kate! You are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMy husband, step-daughter and I were very happy to see Don as well on Saturday. What a treat it was to see his beautiful journals and to see some of his techniques. I agree- the conversations were as great as seeing his sketches which is saying quite a lot!
Oh good, you got to see him too! It was fun...
DeleteI love his drawings, I'm thinking about getting that Faber Castell kit. The demo on You Tube gives a good introduction.
ReplyDeleteIt does look nifty, doesn't it!
DeleteFabulous likenesses of Don. I met him at the first Symposium in Portland.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marcia! He's a terrific guy.
DeleteAren't you fortunate. Thank for sharing your day in photos and sketches
