ultraMARIN Sketch

Last week I had a chance to be at a concert of the Jerusalem Young Philharmonic giving an exciting performance. I have already forgotten what a tremendous experience it is to live classical music, especially performed by cute and talented teens, and especially Dmitry Shostakovich, whose music ended the show. I must to go more! And if I'm talking about the experience of sketching live music - here are some more sketches from the last months I did at two concerts of musicians I love. Never will be tired of sketching music!

In September we've been on a small family vacation in Eilat. I went diving for the first time in my life with my daughter, it was really cool! I wish I could sketch under the water! Until then, here are some sketches that I did above the water :)

After two years of break due to Corona, the festival is back with double power. Every time again, it's so fun to dive into it - the community of Israeli indie music lovers, such a diverse family, including all ages and backgrounds and at the same time carefully filtered by the ... music. Three days passed in one moment, as soon as I arrived, music, like a tiny pieces of sand that are floating here in the desert, flew and filled every free space inside me. I wandered around for three days, armed by a sketchbook and pencils, trying to also absorb and flow, but at the same time also to filter and select - a tough task ... And again this magic of music and sketching worked like magic - the combination, synergy, one plus one is worth much more than two .. I will let the drawings tell the rest. It was...

It have been more than a year since I posted last time. I can say that it was a Corona year, but I was sketching not less than usually, so the real reason is that I was just being lazy to post and maybe felt that nowadays nobody reads blogs... I decided to back here for myself - keeping blog is a good way to document my sketching process.  I'm sharing here sketches from our last Sketchcrawl at Levinsky market - it was really fun to meet with the group, the atmosphere were so alive and the weather finally started to be less hot. I used my gouache portable set, barely moved from one spot all the three hours - endless amount of "models" just passed in front of me :) See you next time!
