“The real voyage consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes in front the new places” (Marcel Proust).
Next week some people will travel and others, like me, will remain in our customary places. To those I wish them, a happy trip, but for us too. We can to prepare our next (maybe I will go to Germany on Christmas) or simply close our eyes and dream with these sketches. The first, about London is dedicated to a very good friend of mine:
Have a wonderful trip and a nice stay Sara ! The next days you’ll be in my mind.

Yeah, here is the passion by Vincent as ever, but his lines and strokes are more controlled to depict the scene with more detail. Thanks a lot for your comment. Have a nice day 🙂

Dearest Francesca, so true. This match between, the moving and touching lights of Venice and the gum arabic, pigments and water of the brushstroke by John only can be made in heaven. Thanks for your expert beholding and a strong hug for you ❤

Hola Linda. El objetivo de este sitio es disfrutar con los dibujos, y si a partir de ahí alguien se ve motivado para hacer sus propias obras, entoces se cumple el objetivo de fomentar el Universo del ‘Sketch o Boceto’. No hay nada sin apoyos como el tuyo, así que muchas gracias y buenas noches desde Barcelona ❤

Me parece una idea estupenda! A mi me gusta verlo pero ya tengo asumido que lo mio no es la pintura jajaja pero me pasare de vez en cuando a echar un vistazo! gracias a ti por animar a tanta gente. Un saludo desde Madrid😉

La pintura sólo es el medio y pretexto para transmitir sentimientos y sensaciones. Lo importante es tu mirada. Yo sólo hago una pequeña aportación con alguna obra, porque la mayoría son de los grandes maestros. Tengo las mejores amistades en Madrid. Me identifico con ellos y ahora contigo como auténticos ‘urbanitas’. ‘Nas noches’ y felices sueños 😉

Unos usan la pintura, otros la escritura, se me dan mejor las palabras que las pinceladas pero si el tiempo me da permiso probaré a ver que sale. Por desgracia no conozco Barcelona, otro lugar pendiente en mi larga lista! Buenas noches y que descanses!

Admiro el poder de las palabras. Ya sabes nos gusta lo que no tenemos, o lo de la acera de enfrente, que dicen. Una de las mejores experiencias es enseñar lo que uno siente. Así que si algún día escaneas tus pruebas y tienes un correo yo te comento. En realidad el arte es como la escritura. Si uno lo desarrolla cada mano y puño, tiene su letra y su expresión personal e intransferible, luego se trata de desarrollarla y perfeccionarla, pero sin perder personalidad. La naturaleza es sabia. La Barcelona actual ha mejorado mucho, hasta por fin me acaba gustando a mí que fui tan crítico siempre. Estás invitada. Gracias por comentar. Feliz descanso.
