I did manage to do some drawing at camp. This was a small doodle done during “Piano Tuning Meditation Time” before the evening concert. Grabbed a front row seat in the outdoor amphitheater and drew in silence as the piano turner worked on the beautiful $90k, hand-crafted Yamaha grand piano that would soon be played by some of the world’s greatest jazz pianists. And yes, that is the drum kit right in front of me.
Jazz Camp West is magical!

I’m home from camp and back to more spacious mornings, with time to practice faces, and Internet access to faces to draw.
These are all 30- and 60-second warmup sketches. My accuracy is not very good yet, but I’m enjoying the challenge of having a minute or less. It forces you to see things in a different way–find the representative shapes and lines FAST!
