Last night we had a very special drawing session. The Ringmaster was in the house! Jennifer surprised us with a magnificent costume, we had a new artist join the group and the best part of the night (I dare say) was Jenny's home made peach cobbler a la mode. Delicious! Before everyone showed up Jenny and I debated over what music to listen to. We both believe that music has powerful influences and that it's important to pick the right tunes before drawing. Having said that, agreeing on music is not always the easiest thing to do. For example, my pick for Thursdays circus theme was Mr. Bungle. Jenny disagreed with my musical choice, calling it geeky white guy music and instead suggested we listen to Louis Armstrong. These are obviously two very different artist but in the end I had to agree with Jenny's pick. Something as hardcore as Mr. Bungle would have been to distracting to listen to.
We made a compromise and settled on Louis Armstrong for drawing and Mr. Bungle for cobbler. In the future I want to put together a life drawing play list. I'm leaving it open so email me if you have any suggestions. I'm taking request! Aside from that we had some great poses, everyone ended up with beautiful drawings and I can't wait until next Monday.
technically i called it "white guy music geek" music. there is a difference.
