Playing around with @procreate and some new brushes from @truegrittexturesupply to try to capture a bit of my son’s virtual violin lesson. ///// #violin #violinist #drawntomusic #procreate #digitalart #practice #playingtheviolin #ipadpro (at Valparaiso, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pqK_knI6P/?igshid=13wzjmq54uw9b

What a treat to enjoy a concert by the Chicago Youth Symphony (CYSO) Concert Orchestra, led by the Maestro Michael Mascari, at Northwestern University this Sunday night. /// @staedtlermars pigment liner in my pocket @moleskine . ///// #drawntomusic #cyso #orchestra #classicmusic #symphonyorchestra (at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B51w9b5H9NQ/?igshid=i9xt0z98aag2

One of the great joys of my life is listening to our son play the violin (and the piano), and I’ve been lucky enough to have attended some of his lessons, always with sketchbook and pen in hand. /// We’ve been fortunate to find some great teachers—back in Taiwan, online, and now here in America—, and I can think of nothing better than drawing along to the sweet sounds of music being practiced, played, and perfected. /// @sakuraofamerica Micron 05 in my pocket @moleskine . ///// #violin #drawntomusic #livesketching #violinist #violinplayer #somephotosadayfromthemidwest2019 (at Chesterton, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2XNLD4Hmde/?igshid=1ie12kn8nhw4s

A beautiful night for some symphony—and sketching—under the stars. /// My family and I enjoyed this free concert by the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra (@nwisymphony ), led by the maestro Kirk Muspratt, last night in Valpo’s Central Park Plaza. /// Drawn to music once again. /// @moleskine sketchbook and @fabercastellglobal pen. ///// #drawntomusic #nwi #nwisymphony #nwisymphonyorchestra #livesketching #classicalmusic #somephotosadayfromthemidwest2019 (at Central Park Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/B050FyxnVa-/?igshid=z6aps1xwt4rz

Process (and practice) in Procreate. /// The importance of practice—for both of us. /// Procreate on iPad Pro. ///// #violin #procreate #drawntomusic #livesketching #drawingmusicians #timelapse #timelapseart #timelapsevideo #timelapseprocreate #timelapseprocess#procreateprocess (at Valparaiso, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt0zMjKHUH8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10wwjfqgfh9cm

Some sketches from “This Is Our Story,” a musical event that gathered together the orchestras, bands, and choirs from Valparaiso High School, Thomas Jefferson Middle School, and several local elementary schools. /// Quite a night of holiday music in the VHS gym! ///// #moleskine #micronpen #drawntomusic #livesketching #sketching (at Valparaiso, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQD-Gdh3dG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xs9jm2sy0r88

This past Wednesday night, my family and I enjoyed a performance by the Valparaiso University Jazz Ensemble. /// The group is composed of VU students and is led by Jeffrey C. Brown. Ann Marie Bice also contributed vocals. /// I really love listening to live music and doing a little drawing at the same time—drawn to music, once again. /// #valpomusic #drawntomusic #jazzensemble #valparaisouniversity #valparaisodepartmentofmusic #drawingmusicians #livesketching #scribing #tedpigottartscribing (at Valparaiso University Center for the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqPrc-oBTah/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iaylwbdqmnw6
