Session 17- Musicians!

Yesterday's sketching session was on the subject of Musicians chosen by musician Martin Ansell who couldn't attend because he's also a cab driver and he had to work. A few of our regulars couldn't make it and I suspect that as the restrictions ease and the weather stays nice our numbers will dwindle. But I'll keep going for a while although the Sunday session is off because I'm going to a friend's birthday barbecue! Hopefully, we will all be back on Wednesday for a subject I like chosen by Vivian Salzman- SCIENCE FICTION! So here are are our Musician sketches-

First up is Alan Bartlett who painted (in oils) in one hour the image on the right then added extra figures later. I like both versions!

Annalisa Renee over there in Dorset gave us this fabulously exuberant performer. Alas, I don't know her name!

My old pal from several years ago in Palma- Anna K Lange who is now locked down in her home country of Poland
gave us this gorgeous and dramatic rendering of Sir Elton John!

Julia Xandru this time has forgone her dazzling vibrant colours and drawn this diva in full voice!  What a strong composition! It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings! And it ain't over yet-

My own effort shows the world's first rock band slammin' out a funky beat for the scantily clad cave girl to gyrate to!
Look at that cave girl go!

By contrast a delicate and serene drawing from Pearl Bates shows a string section about to start playing!

Then from the Sdour twins-Khawla and Somaya a gorgeous black and white drawing of early Elvis and a colour study taken from the film Whiplash! Great to have you both along this time! 

A superb late entry from talented young artist- Emily Woolf. This is the soul queen of New Orleans- Irma Thomas!

Sophie Birritta has given Freddy Mercury the thumbs up with the much loved singer in full flow, teeth and all!

And finally, the very talented young Vivian Salzman did this digital portrait on her iPad, I think, of  Dan Avidan who is new to me but Wikipedia says he is half of a comedy music duo called Ninja Sex Party so I'll have to check him out!

The gang of scribblers and Alan's palette!
See you next Wednesday for some SCIENCE FICTION!
Weeeeeooooooooooo
