Article about my sketches in El Día de Córdoba newspaper
I had a great luck that one of the newspapers in my city had been interested in my drawings on Holy Week and published it on last Sunday edition. The story emphasizes particularly the urban character which is part of Cordoba’s Holy Week. The truth is that I’m really happy with the treatment that Jesus [...]
Holy Wednesday. Drawing with instinct and intuition
Unfortunately it rained during final two days of Holy Week and for that reason the processions didn´t go out to the streets. So I think here´s where my drawings of this year´s Easter will end. Here you have the latest drawings that I was able to do. In more peaceful conditions, on the first two [...]
Holy Week Tuesday. Drawing in the Cathedral-Mosque
Yesterday it was a day to draw around the Mosque-Cathedral. It?s necessary to be very quick to sketch all the figures of a procession float in order to make the meaning of the scene understandable.
Holy Week: Monday. Expressing sorrow and silence
The Holy Monday of Holy Week in Cordoba is a special day of silence and sorrow expression. The truth is that my a priori choice of watercolor of black and red color to fill my pentel has been very appropriate.
Holy Week: drawing what is essential. Palm Sunday
During this week we celebrate Holy Week. In Cordoba many brotherhoods go out in procession through the streets of the city. It is a good opportunity to know the city, you have to walk a lot, and of course it´s a good moment to draw. These pictures are from Palm Sunday, the first day which [...]
Shadows made with watercolor
Spring is here, but for the heat I´d rather say that summer has begun, so one of the things that I look for when drawing is a shadow. And above all, a good frame from which to observe shadows cast on buildings and objects. Once left the job I started to look for a quick [...]
The patio on the site where I work
Before finishing the site in which I have been working for over a year, I wanted to make a good drawing of the patio. The construction company I work for has made a difficult work to renovate this palace of the beginning of the XVI century. The patio you see on the drawing is the [...]
Architectural sketches
It´s not the same to sketch a landscape or a city fragment and to sketch details that I need as an architect during my day to day work on site, it´s obvious. In the second case I have to think of how one element is related to another, with the inevitable condition that it could [...]
Video drawing book Cordoba. February-September 2010
This is one of the videos I’ve once made of the sketch books I’d finished. The truth is that it’s a pity that the video had such a bad quality, the camera was not very good and the light was not adequate, but I think I learned my lesson and next time I will make [...]

Pencil and watercolor to draw Almodovar Gate in Córdoba
Whenever I want to relax, I use to go to the old town of Cordoba. I take my drawing bag; put my drawing book inside, my pencils, pen and above all watercolors and go out to do my favorite hobby. One of my favorite route is to get to the Jewish quarter, -La Judería- this [...]
Drawing from Cordoba, in the Andalusia region, Spain
The vast majority of my drawings describe the landscape, buildings and atmosphere of Andalusia, especially of the city of Cordoba. This is the place where I was born and raised.
