I went up to my dad's place today and it was the perfect opportunity to sketch some unsuspecting victims...errr..models on the subway ride up and down.
:) Now I wonder, why asking John M. and not these people? Why does it seem like the right thing to do?? Where's the trick...? Why do I ask so many silly questions...??? Whatever. Deal with me please... ;) Warm regards, Carolina
Hi Carolina. Well John M was my subject at the coffee shop I work and he's a regular so I think I have a connection with him...It'd be kind of rude not to, don't you think?
As for the subway people, I'll never see them again, so I'm not too concerned about permission. Plus I never knew how long they'd be on the train, so asking permission seemed odd for a "one stop" sketch.
Well, I'm not sure... I'm still in doubt about...err, nothing! Now I understand e-e-e. How did I miss about the connection thing? That's the 'trick' I was missing... thanks for being so thorough ^_^
Thanks Steven. You know, here in Toronto, there's a group that meets every Sunday, hops on the train and rides the rails for a few hours sketching, simply to sketch subway people. Maybe you could start something like that in your town?
In my current art practice, I am exploring the subtitles of oil paints, particularly within the the realm of portraiture.
My focus is on the human face because that's what we all see everyday. It's there ripe for the picking.

That's just me. Did I answer your questions?

Ahhh, I wish I had a commute so I could do sketches of people. Good stuff. Nice work.

Hi Wifred, I am interested in the Sunday group in Toronto. Could you please provide more info bout that? Thanks.
