The Absinthe Jazz Trio performed at Lil Indies 1036 N. Mills Ave. Orlando Fl. This sketch was more challenging that most since I discovered that my pen didn’t have waterproof ink in it. This made it so that black ink would bleed out anytime i put a watercolor wash down. I started to adjust to the new look and started to enjoy the more painterly approach as I let the pigments flow down to the jazz beat. The group tends to perform on the first Monday of every month. I recognized one of the guitarists from a performance I had sketched at Rollins College.
I could have lingered and had a drink, but decided to wrap up the sketch when the band finished their first set. Drawing to great jazz is endlessly fun and results in spontaneous and often unexpected results.
