As mentioned in my previous post, we were down in Devon to sketch the
new Tavistock Edge event. My assistant was an absolute star, so we spent
virtually all day at the event.

First up was a flash choir in
the Pannier Market. Naturally, I knew where and when this was occurring
and found a bench to sit on, although hadn't planned on the huge crowd
blocking my view. The sound was lovely and Degas was happy as long as
she had her pig's ear and no-one stood on her paws or tail.
Next up, we wandered to the Buskstop, and sketched
The Diggurz, who list the genre as
roots/redneck/celtic. Degas was fantastic even having a little dance at one point. There is one sketch below, to see the rest please head over here.

From the Buskstop, we wandered down the road to see the Lodestone Border
Morris group. Degas found the stick bashing a problem, yet still stayed
for a couple of dances. I'm really pleased with the sketch as I tried
to focus on the colour and movement. What do you think?

Finally, we wandered to
St Eustachius' churchyard where there was a whole afternoon of entertainment. My favourite was Miss Von Trapp who describes herself as "
Murderously
Quirky Dark Cello Cabaret: Morbidly Vaudeville Songs, Cabaret
Numb...ers and Performance Poetry to revolt and entertain..." and I thought she was brilliant.

I certainly hope the festival will continue next year as we had a great
time. To see all the sketches
please go here.What do you think of my sketches? Have you sketched somewhere similar? Please leave a comment as I love
to receive them.
