Drawing on Location

Annie and I are currently on a short tour of England and are staying near the Lake District. It has been a great opportunity to do some studies and drawings on location.

Animals it seems, are much easier to draw when you have food. 
Good morning sir, may I offer you a delicious husk of old bread crust?

The trick to drawing on location is to look very, very serious. 

Trees are a bit easier than goats. They don’t require being paid off to pose for you.

    Hi Justin and Annie! Hey, you are in my neighborhood! Why don't you stop by for a cup of coffee and a glass of sljivovitsa–you remember? That shattering drink that helps people draw and paint better. 🙂
    Have a great time in good-old England!
