Colne Blues 2018 Day 2

My second year as Artist-in-Residence at The Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival and my second day of the 2018 festival. Pages from a sketchbook can be seen below.

I’ve said these things before but they lose none of their relevance despite repetition:

  1. I only paint gigs I’ve attended. For me, you just have to experience the mood and atmosphere generated by live music performance.
  2. When you draw, you have to really look, and when you really look, you really see.
