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!

And a 2-minute sketch. Seems like a luxury after 30-seconds!

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!

This page of 17 30- and 60-second sketches is my contribution today for face #30. 30 faces in 30 days! Or 30 days of daily faces, since some days I’ve sketched multiple faces, as today.

I have an album of face photos on my iPad to refer to while I’m in the woods, but I’m giving myself permission not to draw at all, if making music (which is, after all, the whole reason for going to music camp!) is more compelling.

I’d like to get at least a few minutes in, but I’m letting myself off the hook.

Have a great week, and go get creating!
