Here are my drawings of the day, and others that I did in the days spent in Malaga.

My lecture, based on 3 drawings, is about three different ways to draw that I naturally used the same day, almost unconsciously. These are the representation of my evolution as a sketcher in this short space of time, starting with architectural sketches and ending with sketch more emotionally free of rules both in terms of perspective and color application.

Instead of transcribing the class I uploaded my previous notes and manuscripts, which I consider more interesting. I’ll go with all three videos in which I try to redraw each schematic drawing, the “how it was made.”

I was fortunate to give the lecture closely with Inma Serrano, a friend and a magnificent sketcher, whose unmistakable style contrasts so great to mine. I think the feeling of contrast between the two talks was very interesting, I even think that one day we should repeat and further increase the contrast.

Conclusions:

The next day, during a presentation by Miguel Herranz and Sagar Fornier I took these notes on a drawing of the previous night dinner.

Many thanks to Luis Ruiz and Cristina Urdiales, for their organization and their interest in me to participate in the course. Also thanks to the other speakers and attendees to the course for your interest in the work of this humble sketcher.

The course covers drawing, and more particularly the way the urban sketching and web2.0 tools: blogs, Flickr, Picasa …have contributed to enthusiasts from around the world to learn, communicate and present their work and even strike up relationships.

There are architects, engineers, sketchers, illustrators, teachers and graphic designers on the list of lecturers, among whom I have the pleasure to be too …

My presentation will take place on April 19, along with Luis Ruiz, architect, magnificent urban sketcher and one of the coordinators of the course.

Course: “Travel Sketchbooks: The city and the landscape” is a post from: Drawing book from Spain Facebook Page Twitter

They suggested it in a completely free way, both in subject and in technique, with the only condition that, as I said, the cover were the building of the former Veterinary College, now the seat of the Rectorship of the University of Cordoba.

The original drawing is very similar to this one, but for the bad weather and because, this time the order had to meet someother requirements, I preferred to repeat the pattern, giving it more details thinking about the the final presentation for the cover.

It was a pleasure for me that they counted with me, such a humble artist, for this job.

Pity I couldn´t go, because this time came two new sketchers: Marisa and Rosa, who together with Arturo Ramirez, David Coladas and Antonio Lara completed the group that morning.

My little drawing is a partial view of the garden, with a great jacaranda and the tower of the Church of San Andrés in the background . Every time I feel more comfortable with the way I draw, that means I have to change my style, look for new themes, other techniques, another format, new references…

During the last meeting, we had in La Puerta de Almodovar on December 18th last year, the newspaper of the city, El Día de Cordoba, recorded our meeting with a report on their inside pages and part of the back cover; the news has helped me to spread a little more this type of activity and what we, the urbansketchers, do.

I always say that this type of events are related to meet with new persons that they like to draw. It is the first day you meet new drawings fans to and also you can always take the opportunity to see how they draw, undoubtedly the best way to learn.

Meeting list: Loli, Joanna Haraburda, Richard Felgner, IzabelaRadomska, Pauline Marsaillex, Natalia Krawczyk, Joaquin Gonzalez Dorao, Antonio Lara Morcillo, Julio Herrero, Cristóbal Aragón and me.

I´m very grateful to Joaquin, he came from Madrid to sketch with us. Recently I had the opportunity to receive Lapin, so meet with another professional sketcher is a great opportunity to learn.

We dared with a complicated interior view of the Mosque-Cathedral, a great challenge! The next day Arturo Ramirez, another urban sketcher of Cordoba joined us. We drew an exterior view of the Mosque-Cathedral and the other view from the river.
