Draw puddle reflections with a friend

Ren Takahashi

I want to take a short walk after rain with a friend, then sit somewhere dry and draw what we noticed. We can fold our sketches into a little shared booklet. The reflected street need not be exact.

Did you choose puddles because they're easier than a whole landscape?

Partly, perhaps. A small surface holds enough sky. I would like to sit with the paper and notice what moves before the water becomes still. There is no need to include everything.

I would be up for comparing attempts, even if joining in person is not practical. Would that help? My plan has to fit this: I keep a small monthly hobby budget.

I can leave that question open until the practical details are clearer. I want to keep “Draw puddle reflections with a friend” manageable for the people involved. Comparing a small attempt could work without pretending we are in the same place. We can agree what to share and leave private details out.

I would also like to plan a quiet listening walk with a friend. For me, I keep a small monthly hobby budget. I work as a university student, and I keep a small monthly hobby budget. The help I would welcome is someone with practical experience. I am trying to leave enough room for the ordinary parts of the week, so I would rather compare one modest attempt than agree to a bigger commitment before I know it fits.

Ren Takahashi, would making a TikTok turn this into a performance? I am not sure I would want a camera involved.

Yvette Sosa, then we should leave the camera out. A short video is a separate choice, not a condition of joining the activity.

Ren Takahashi, no promises, but maybe.

On “Draw puddle reflections with a friend”, that is fair. I would rather return with an honest account of an attempt than ask you to be enthusiastic in advance.
