John Horne, Guitarist (Athens, OH)
Here’s John playing at Jackie O’s in Athens, OH. He said it was ok for me to use the photo reference from FaceBook that this quick, freehand, digital (iPad) painting is based on. Check‘em out (here and here) and in person to partner with his countless fans, colleagues, collaborators, and clients. He’s one of the big reasons why I’m so glad to be back in Athens.
You lookin’ at me?
Friday Afternoon Guest
An Evening with Júlio Ribeiro Alves
Last night the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd on the campus of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio hosted guitarist Dr. Júlio Ribeiro Alves, a faculty member of the Marshall University School of Music since 2006. No microphone, no sound system; only the maestro, his guitar, and the beautiful music their collaboration produced.
Before the night had ended I began committing to memory this digital rendition of Alves and his guitar on my iPad Pro in the Sketch Club app using an Apple Pencil and a reference photo that I took towards the end of the performance. I “finished” the piece this morning in Sketch Club adding a tweak or two in iColorama. Below I’ve inserted the behind-the-scenes “Sketch Stats.”
