Sketchcrawl at the Nelson-Atkins Gallery, Saturday the 19th

Just a reminder and a bit of info for you KC area sketchers (and whoever else cares to join us!  I know one is coming from St. Louis and I think Springfield--exciting!)

We'll be meeting inside the garage entrance at noon or shortly after, and sketching wherever we want--I'm in an Asian kind of mood, myself!

FYI, the incredibly talented Molly Hammer is doing a brunch performance at Chas on the Plaza, in the Raphael Hotel, from 10:00 a.m. till one, and we're planning to go there on our way to the Nelson.  Join us, if you wish!

It's been a music kind of weekend...

Friday Night was Art Crawl...

Our friend Shawna makes instruments out of the oddest things...cigar boxes, sure, but also cookie tins, ammo boxes, and whatever she can find with a hollow body!

Copper Creek Band was playing Friday night, and I sketched quickly with a bent-nib calligraphy pen...love the brushlike marks.

Switched to a Black Cherry Prismacolor pencil on CP watercolor paper for the closeup...

Saturday night we hit the big city to hear our godchild Molly Hammer play at the Broadway Jazz Club...

Back to that fun bent-nib pen!

Added color and a little collage the next day at home...

Love that jazz face on Brian Baggett, the guitarist...

Last sketch of the evening, quick pencil drawings...
