She’s worked as many as 13 hours with two one-half hour breaks for lunch and dinner.

Ten to fifteen faces (not drawings) per hour.

Barbara posts a sign with her working hours, then cuts off the line at one-half to one hour before end. She hands out numbers to remaning people in line so that no one waits and then is turned away.

Yes, she works with other caricaturists in such cases and can help find more artists as needed.

She can draw as many as five faces on an 8-1/2 x 11 page. Great for families!

Absolutely! She asks that an adult supervises children.

They are slipped into plastic sleeves.

Barbara is happy to work outdoors in most weather. She does require a tent with at least two side panels to work in rain and/or wind. In dry, sunny weather, shade from trees will suffice. If no trees, then a tent or some other shelter is required.

Copik ink pens, Penstix, Prismacolor (grey) markers, and grease pencil.

It’s very simple. She needs 2-3 armless chairs, a small table (card table size works), a location with lots of visibility and, depending on ambient light, access to electricity for her lamp.

She suggests that clients announce her location and hours. It sometimes helps to “prime” shy guests by bringing over the first subject to get the momentum started. Barbara wants to draw as many attendees as possible.
