I went to Friends of Chamber Music with my sister in law to listen to the Emerson Quartet and decided to sketch while they played. It was so much fun! The music totally informed the way I was drawing, both the tempo and the mood completely took over what I was doing and I was lost in the most lovely, absorbed way. I called this drawing, "From Haydn to Bartok", because that is what they played until the intermission. After intermission I drew two quicker sketches of individual musicians which I gave to them after the concert. I highly recommend drawing to live music. It makes the experience so lively and immediate.
