Drawing Cordoba: Puerta de Almodovar. Joaquín González Dorao sketching with us

Todays meeting DRAWING CORDOBA has been quite varied in attendees, some new friends, beginners or initiated, and others, usuals in this kind of meetings.

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.

Drawing in Cordoba with Lapin

I receive very few visitors in my city, it’s a shame, I love having friends to whom show Córdoba and if they come to draw the experience is much better. Lapin came last month in a tour he did to Andalusia. He had time to draw more than me, and he is very fast! But at least the three times we met were really cool.

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.

Drawing in Bodegas Campos, Cordoba

The plan for today was to go for a walk and draw something. Our destination was the Bodegas Campos, a famous restaurant in Cordoba located in old restored houses. My drawing is a watercolor that shows small detail of one of the beautiful patios in this restaurant.

Two architectural watercolors this morning

I did these two small watercolors this morning in the square in the center of Cordoba. My intention was to recreate the architectural shapes with lines and shadows, without lines of composition, suggesting more than describing.

Sketchcrawl in El Puerto de Sta. Maria, Cadiz

The latest Sketchcrawl I went to was the one held in Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, on Saturday 15th of October. It’s great to see again sketchers and friends and share some hours with them, there is always a great atmosphere and we have a lot of fun.

Besides I’m quite happy with the three drawings that I did, there´s also the classic video made by Izabela, always highly wanted because it summarizes very well all day. On this trip there was a little innovation, an interview they did to Inma, Luis and to me for the local television. We seem super professional in front of camera, but the truth is that we were more nervous than we pretended.
