The Bluegrass Ensemble performed at the Lamont School of Music on Sunday, and I had ample opportunity to sketch the musicians—that is, if I could only take down their bodies fast enough! This mandolin player was the most gifted in the group of extremely gifted college students. I drew her with more zest than the other players, and I like the way that the quick sketch turned out. Simple and exacting.
