Live Portrait Drawing in the Park

Yesterday, I did a live portrait drawing on commission out by Phoenix Park, in Eau Claire. I met with some people last year when I was doing portraits, but we weren’t able to connect for an actual drawing.

So we set up a time and met at the gazebo right by the footbridge. I figured, that way if it rained, we would have plenty of cover. It was a bit cool, and it looked like it could rain, but we had no problems whatsoever.

I really enjoyed drawing a portrait of these three girls live. It keeps my drawing skills fresh. It’s one thing to draw from a photo, but to draw a moving three dimensional person from life is another thing entirely.

It usually takes me about 15 minutes per person, so about 45 minutes for a drawing of three people on one piece of paper.

The clients were spending the day with their grandchildren, and now they have something tangible to capture the memory! Here is what they wrote about it after the event…

“Thanks for the drawings of our granddaughters today. It was a very special experience! We’ll definitely share this experience with our friends. Best of luck always,”

Kind regards,

Mari and Keith Krenz

If you would like a portrait drawn, just let me know. I truly enjoy doing it, and it would be a wonderful way to capture a memory.

Have a blessed day,

Matt
