Treviso

A weekend in Treviso a couple of weeks ago for an exhibition. I went with Lapin and we had the opportunity of meeting some nice people and (of course) drawing this beautiful town. Here are some of my sketches. Lapin posted much faster than me (here and here).

Castellers

(En español en De Vuelta con el Cuaderno)

Friday 24 was La Mercè, a big festival in Barcelona. I went to Plaça Sant Jaume to see the castellers. I've always thought this is a beautiful metonymy of the collective work, and I'd say it's not a case that this old tradition had taken deep roots in Catalonia. I've seen castells all my life on tv or films, but this was the first time I had the opportunity of seen them live. Really exciting, at some moments I got goosebumps.

Last post about my recent visit to Zaragoza.

The previous posts were about people: the first one about the speakers of the the 2nd De Vuelta con el Cuaderno meeting, and the second one about everybody else.

These ones are all about this fantastic city, full of wonderful places and lovely people.

Back from Zaragoza. 2: People around

This is a sequel of the previous post.

All the drawings are portraits (or so) of the people I met those days while attending lectures, eating, drinking, talking, walking, singing, dancing...

Back from Zaragoza. 1: The lecturers

En español en De vuelta con el cuaderno

Last weekend I went to Zaragoza with my neighbor Lapin for the 2nd De Vuelta con el Cuaderno meeting. I had the opportunity of drawing together with him, Luis Ruiz, Toño Fernández, Swasky, Josu Maroto and some other 70 sketchers. But this was only in the afternoon. For three days we spent the mornings attending lectures from big masters that shared their experience and knowledge, and came in the afternoon to draw with us.

It was intense, and so funny. Unforgetable days.

This first post is dedicated to the speakers, click on their names to know more about them.
