Sketching on Location: The Quick Sketch  Renowned drawing
instructor Glenn Vilppu continues with his eighth "sketching on
location" teaching installment. This month he discusses
different approaches to quick sketching.   Everything we have
done so far can probably be called "quick sketches." In this
chapter I am using the term to describe the capturing of an
individual or group of figures as quick notations. In the
classroom we might call it gesture drawing. When drawing in the
field, the quick sketch is more than just capturing the gesture
of an individual. There is usually something about what we are
drawing that grabs our attention. This "hook" can be any number
of things: the tender way a mother is holding a child, a funny
clown in the park, or the romantic couple at the table next to
you. The late Isabel Bishop almost made a career out of drawing
people walking. It is what catches your eye and interests you
that counts.  All drawings in this article are by and © Glenn
