It's so fun to try to capture the animals. I'd never done this tili I read Roz's blog - she's so inspiring AND instructional. All her advice paid off. I found that a fanny pack helped a lot. Good for you not being put off by people's comments. I love your sketches and that you pressed through even though you knew your skin would react. So good to see your work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472962960077924706.post-23258050045032678452012-09-24T14:26:07.974-04:002012-09-24T14:26:07.974-04:00Wow.

I think she's fabbo. <br /><br />I have not been brave enough yet to do any sketching in public. But I've really been wanting to. I keep waiting to have more time, but seriously... you have to just do it!!<br /><br />Great work!Parabolic Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293896881451344660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472962960077924706.post-76089134447660505802012-09-05T07:48:30.615-04:002012-09-05T07:48:30.615-04:00Your sketches are wonderful!

Even if they did I don't think I have the skills for any living creature.

You s...Hey Diane, I love your county fair sketches. You sure were productive in an hour! Were you using that small Strathmore 500 Mixed Media paper book? I hope you liked the paper. Kudos for you braving the barns with your severe allergies. While I have allergies and asthma it's pretty much contained by a little bit of medication and I never break out. But you are wise not to touch any of the animals (even with permission). I found out one year from a goat owner that there are a somethings people can pick up from goats, some parasites. I'm glad you got out and had this adventure!

I had no idea you were asthmatic. I'm sure that is uncomfortable, to say the least.<br /><br />Although it would take away from the Plein Air concept, you might consider photographing the animals and drawing them in a less hostile environment. There are always lots of other subjects. Of course, if the animal barn was near the grandstands and Styx was on stage, I can see why you would stick around (grin).Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
