I usually try to set up in such a way that people can see the drawings being created. People like to watch. They like to be in my Zone.
But I finally decided that that will not be my primary criteria for the Set Up if I am asked to draw in front of a bright Window. Because it is too difficult to see the faces that I am drawing if they are affected by Back Lighting.
At this particular Wedding Party, I was in that situation. In order for the guests to be Entertained by watching the drawing happen, I had set up with the easel facing the main room. Since I was told to set up near a big bright window, that meant that the people who were being drawn had no light on their faces. Even the good lights that I brought along could not compete with the brightly lit window. Their faces were just too difficult to see.
After struggling through a few pictures, I changed the set up so I could see the features my comfortably. I turned around so the easel was facing the Window. Made for a better Party Atmosphere This time. But I feel like the Clients were missing out on one part of the Entertainment which I could have given them if I was allowed to close the window curtains and plug in my lights instead.
I can only do what I am allowed to do.
Still..... it all works out. A good time was had by all.
