How Many Sketches Can a Sketcher Sketch If a Sketcher Can Sketch Sketches?
Thursday July 9, 2009
This photo shows artist Christine Sharman sketching as she participated in Anthony Gormley's Fourth Plinth installation in London. You can what's happening right now on the live webstream. It's still not to late to apply to participate in September or October. It'd sure be fun to see someone plein-air painting up there! So why not fill in the entry form?
If I get a spot, I'll pack my little portable easel and buy a canvas at the art supplies store just around the corner at the bottom of Charing Cross Road. What would you do up there? Post a comment to let us know what you'd do on the plinth if you could participate.

I loved the yellow paper planes someone threw and the green balloons. I’d love to paint the fountains from up there. You’d never get to see them from that angle again unless you were a pigeon. Take lots of photos too though because an hour will fly be.
