November 30 Days of Drawing (Day 6) Violins!

Violins!

On Mondays, Leksands Spelmanslag, the folk instrument players in Leksand get together, practice, and jam. Its great music to draw too. I was invited to come draw while they played. A little hard to do since they move so much and their expressions change often, but great fun! Their was a couple of warm up sketches I did before these that didn't make the cut.

Magnus Sanden. 1 hour. Could use a little more detail in the hand and arm. Magnus is a good friend here in Leksand. He can sing any song and play any instrument.

 Warm-up 20mins

Per Gudmundson (Violinist)

A fun and interesting experience. I bumped into a friend on my way to class. He was on his way to see Per play. So I tagged along.
Really good performer. He played traditional Dalarna folk music, and a couple of numbers on a small bagpipe.
