Finger-painting at a wedding

I was at the sweetest, happiest wedding reception this weekend. And of course, I took along my sketchbook and watercolors. Trouble is, I forgot to pack a paintbrush. So I finger-painted. Not very elegant, but very good fun. I usually draw pretty fast, but I had to be super-quick to catch the action here: that’s really when all that gesture-drawing practice pays off!

Here are Kim and Javi, the bride and groom, at their first dance.

And here is Juan, the groom’s dad, raising a toast.

Here’s a sketch of the far side of our table and the beautiful flower arrangements in the background. I loved the large, multi-colored bouquets.

And Javi and Emma follow with their mother-son dance.

Cake cutting. Sketching super-fast because this went by in a jiffy!

After that, it was time to dance and when Uptown Funk plays, you just gotta put away the sketchbook 🙂

Thank you, Kim and Javi for a really fun evening.
