Drawing people from Observation
Going to the Bergamo Balla (which was amazing) I was inspired to take my sketchbook along, I knew there would be so much to see and try and record. It was basically a huge street party with great music, food, dancing in the streets and lots of people! I sat down to draw the above picture, I found that I am not very good at being discreet and at times people caught my eye when I was drawing them - I find it much easier to draw people from behind.
Despite this I really enjoyed the process of drawing somewhere so busy and definitely want to do this more. I think I might start to focus on drawing crowds when I get back to England.
I drew a few faces from imagination and continued to try and capture individuals I saw around town.
