"Tango Joy" - mixed sketch of tango dancers

tango couple, mixed media, ink charcoal watercolor Connie Chadwell drawing

They are for sure having a lovely time dancing the tango.  Always watching and attempting to keep my skills in quick drawings sharp, I was so pleased to get the chance to sketch this couple. This is one that I did with Derwent Line Maker 0.3, General Pencil Company's Primo charcoal pencils and a bit of watercolor in a Strathmore Mixed Media sketchbook.

I was also happy to get their expressions so quickly - he with a tender look as he watched her almost complete abandon.  So much of such a quick drawing is actually done from memory since they've moved on to another step while I'm striving to record what I glimpsed mere moments ago. Lots of fun, though!  Thanks for visiting Hackberry Street Studio!
