After years of trying to get looser on my sketches, the thing I learned the most of the symposium was how to be loose but with a purpose. Through the workshops and during the sketchcrawl I witnessed how artists whose work I admire record their impressions on paper. Loose ain't the equivalent of sloppy.
Places are nothing without people, and people aren't just silhouettes to give a sense of scale. I hope to be able to record my surroundings in a different way from now on. Thanks to all the instructors and participants with whom I had an unforgettable experience.
Luis, it was great meeting you and spending time together in SD. Love the drawings...as I said to you at the time, I think Ronald Searle would give the last one a big thumbs up!
