MInnesota State Fair Video and Sketches

Here's video of our sketch-out at the Minnesota State Fair:



Roz Stendahl tells the tale at her blog of our first MN State Fair Sketch-Out:

It was a great day: sunny, a cool 70 degrees Fahrenheit, a light breeze but no windiness to toss up the dust. Ten sketchers showed up at our first meeting (12:30) with sketches in hand (everyone arrived on their own schedule). After about 40 minutes of chatting and sharing sketches we adjourned to the Poultry and Cattle Barns where we continued to sketch, and where Ken caught some sketchers on video. At 5 p.m. we reconvened for "debriefing" about how the day had gone. Everyone had great work to share and fun encounters to recount.


Here's some sketches... I'll be adding more. As always, click on the sketches to make them bigger.

  1. I am a sad dad that didn't get to join you. When freelance calls.....
    It looks like I'll be able to make it to The Fair on Friday, solo unfortunately. Please feel welcome to post you art on Flickr with the State Fair Art group, http://www.flickr.com/groups/817242@N25/ . Just me so far. Not much of a group without you.

    Maybe one or two of you will be drawing again on Friday. I will have my eyes open for sketchers. Congratulations, again, on your wonderful event.
