Street Painting in Florence ~ Chalk Drawings after Botticelli and Vermeer

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Street Painting (Chalk Drawing) is hard, intensive drawing work.

You are constantly observed by a wide range of passers-by and under pressure to deliver and finish a work that the majority will admire.

If you don’t do something at least ‘pretty good’ you could be in for a barrage of criticism from all sorts of people – So I would say it is a little bit stressful too!

Well, despite all that, it’s worth it to see a smile on so many people’s faces as they walk past, or stop and watch.
