Зарисовка персонажей на рынке 18 века в Монреале

На сайте Марк Таро Холмс в Монреале, КК

Every summer the Музей Пуэнт-а-Кальер takes over their corner of Montreal’s old port to put on the 18th century New France marketplace.

It’s always a great opportunity for USK:MTL to get together and sketch.

I imagine most people have some sort of costumed re-enactors group in their area? These guys above are the Compagnie du 2e Battalion du Régiment de la Sarre.

You might want to scout around your own area. Many cities have some sort of military re-enactors, a local crew of pirates, or a medieval history group. I highly recommend this sort of thing for a fun afternoon sketching people in fancy dress – and an opportunity to draw as much as you like without your subjects running off. (Not that they won’t move, but at least they’ll stay in the area :).

If anyone else has sketches from costumed events (or might be a re-enactor themselves?) – why not post a link to your drawings in the comments – and tell us when and where the event takes place. Maybe there are some people in your area that will turn up for the next event – sketchbooks at the ready!
