Last Tuesday a friend invited me to join her at a local "dive" bar that has a big band playing once a month. The band is Tommy James and the Black Tie Affair Orchestra. We went once before and had fun sketching the musicians. This time they were doing a "rat pack" tribute and had a singer with them. I sketched in pencil and planned to add watercolor when I got home, but I think they will stay like this.
One page is filled with small thumbnails of the musicians and the singer in the top right corner.
The second page was larger sketches. I love how the horns make their cheeks puff out. lol
On the left is the leader of the orchestra, Tommy James.
My final sketch is a second one of the singer,
Nice sketches of the performers! You captured nice details in their expressions.
ReplyDeleteI feel I was sat by your side. Great sketches
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous, Joan! Tommy James himself looks very young. If he is, then I so admire his tribute to bygone eras and styles of music.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tina.
ReplyDeletePolly, thanks so much.
Sherry, he was young, and there were quite a few young musicians in the group. It is fun music for them to play. Thanks.
Joan - these are awesome sketches. Good choice to not cover them with watercolor. I like the simple feel of them without color. You are so talented. Hope you are having a great start to your week.
ReplyDeleteFine sketches, Joan! You are busy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. I was out painting in the sunshine today. Yay!!!
ReplyDeleteSirkka, thanks so much.
