I was there drawing too and sorry not to meet you. I've been reading your blogs for 3 years and just can't tell you how much you contribute to my working life as an artist.

Drawing clothed people is an interesting challenge, isn't it?) Tenosynovitis is not nice, is it? My problem is frozen shoulders . . . so I draw real small (A4 or less) and use watercolour - there is much less drag on the hand, so less painful.janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588901637630537211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-25943142282541681112012-04-27T06:38:33.799+00:002012-04-27T06:38:33.799+00:00wow!! what a wonderful opportunity!! you really ar...wow!! what a wonderful opportunity!! you really are spoilt for choice in the capital...<br />it must have been fascinating to hear her side of the process, and then to draw her...<br />i especially like the immediacy of the 15 mins sketch, and i love the fact you included her water bottle in the last one :)Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236906641354002595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-43285820421078118192012-04-27T05:39:19.809+00:002012-04-27T05:39:19.809+00:00Nice drawings...
