Music is in their blood

I've been doing these quick direct sketches and really enjoying them. When I don't do a pencil drawing, I feel that I'm really just sketching and the result is much looser and more spontaneous.
Flamenco guitarists, watercolor sketch
With the first one I did everything wrong - started with the figure in the back and had to leave white space for the white of the foreground figure. But in the end I quite liked the result.

Street musicians, watercolor sketch
The second doesn't have a particularly good composition, but I remember I liked the music these guys were playing.

Accordionist, watercolor sketch
The first attempt on this subject produced a man with such an enormous head, he looked like a cartoon. This is the second try.

These three sketches are wonderful. They have lots of mood and they are nice and loose yet you captured their expressions well.
