Speed drawing a parade, guess where?
A series of 8 4×6 inch sketches all done in about a half hour. I love sketching like this! (I did have to go sit at my fantastic vantage point about an hour and a half early, though).
The paper? Fluid watercolor paper, the kind with the orange cover. In a small 4×6 sized pad.
Sketch 1 at the top left is before the parade as the crowd gathered, the rest are all done in the 20ish-minute-long parade officially called the Mickey’s Soundsational Parade.
My kids were nowhere to be seen. They decided to squeeze in a few more rides instead.
Sketch Away: Travels with my sketchbook 
I enjoy looking at your work. These are wonderful and smallish. I am not sure why I associate speed or action sketching as needing more space. These are great!

Carmel, I would love to sketch big: but with 3 minutes a sketch, small is probably best! Besides, I was in a very tight spot, sitting on the pavement with lots of people jostling me, my satchel on my lap, and my 4×6 pad, paints and brushpen all balanced on top of it, drawing a a great big hurry…. often my tools and paper size are decided by the limitations of where I am and how much space and time I have.

I have this great visual of you sketching! It had to have been fun. I have an 8 x 8 pad of Fluid paper that I intend to use for sketching.
