End of year is also concert season for the kids. These first sketches are from a recital that my daughter’s violin teacher holds every holiday season. It was a small, intimate setting, so I didn’t pull out my watercolors. A pen, a rainbow pencil and my small sketchbook were all I had with me.
But these next few sketches are from the big school recital where the stage held atleast 150 students at any point. I had front-row seats because I was (for once!) early. So I pulled out my watercolors and sketched. Not my usual ink, this one is watersoluble. And when you spill your little container of water across the page ( like I did in sketch #3), it makes a big mess.

Beautiful. I too sketch at the Phoenix Symphony, but only with pen or pencil. grace

These are so lovely (and lively!) Suhita. Sketching during concerts is magical.
Could I ask what pen (or brush pen) you used? The variation in your line width is phenomenal.
And happiest of holidays to you!

Phoebe, that’s neither a brush nor a brushpen it’s the Sailor Bent Nib pen ( google it, it’s on amazon and on jetpens.com) and is 10ish bucks and a totally fantastic pen. It tales practice to learn to control it, but once you get there it’s really versatile, I love the line.
