Sheffield Folk Festival: SketchJamming

Here are a few of the sketches I did at The Shakespeare pub, SketchJamming with Les, during the Sheffield Folk Festival.

Everyone was so incredibly friendly and very interested to see how they had turned out in the sketches. The smiling man above invited us to be Artists-in-Residence at another folk festival that he organises in September!

I really enjoy sketching to music: it really seems to help the creative process. Folk music works well too, as at least some of the musicians stay pretty still, so you're in with a chance!

Our First SketchJam!

SketchJams are a spin-off from the SketchCrawls, and a new idea we tried out recently.

On Jan 13th, a small group of us got together to experiment with drawing musicians in the pub. It was a very small room, so we were really eyeballing them!

There were as many of us sketchers as there were musicians! Luckily, they were pretty cool about the idea of being drawn and were very interested to see out work afterwards.

The evening proved to be great fun, so we'll be doing it again soon.
