The Bird Nuts Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Anyone want to join me in the BIRDTOBER daily art challenge? Each day you draw/paint/sculpt a bird from the list of prompts. It's okay to skip a few days - it's just for fun and practice! This is, of course, an Instagram challenge, but some of us don't do Instagram...?♀️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your BIRDTOBER is awesome already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) I thought anyone was allowed to sit down. I didn't realize there was an approval process. All of which means, "What are seating auditions?" Edited October 23, 2022 by Charlie Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having never played an instrument I assume @Quiscalus quiscula is referring to which order you sit in an orchestra etc. and thus how much you play and how important your part is to the whole. Aka the phrase 'playing second fiddle' 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka the phrase 'playing second fiddle' This. It's more common in youth and college orchestras, not really in professional orchestras. You have to play excerpts of the repertoire to an adjudicator who determines your seating. Now, you upload a video of yourself playing the excerpts, partially because of covid, partially to make it a little less stressful. Aiming to be in at least the first three stands of the first violin section, so I've been practicing a lot. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Trying to catch up starting from here. Red-tailed Hawk juvenile (this way I can attribute the uneven wing feathers to molt...). First time trying to draw a bird in flight, and the proportions and markings are so off ? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
