Three faces
Hello! Still on the path of music, I’ve been working on more drawings of faces at play. More finding their way to the dustbin than here, but I wanted to share these three with you. Here are my drawings:
Strong man, £150
Playing Elgar, £150
Three faces, £150
Even before I read these are faces of people playing, I thought: this guy looks vaguely Chopin-ish 🙂

Thank you so much. I must say it crossed my mind that the face seemed to tell the story of the activity. The instrument becomes secondary in a way – interesting notion 🙂

These sketches are wonderful! You’ve captured the intensity of the musicians perfectly! 🙂

Thanks Jackie – I needed that encouragement! I’ve not drawn or painted faces for many years and yet I used to do them all the time. Thought it was time to have another go, but I love the concentration and intensity of these men, really wonderful to try and capture. 🙂

The faces are so beautifully drawn, and they look so lost in their music. Keep on doing these lovely drawings.
