Warming up towards Barcelona :-)

Image
Here are some sketches I did in Tapeo - tapas bar in Tel Aviv with very much spirit of Barcelona. The place design is inspired by Gaudi architecture style with its curved lines and mosaics. We set on the bar and it was perfect point for capturing people sitting on the opposite side and sunk in their conversations. It was good warming up towards the real thing - USk Symposium in Barcelona!

WW SketchCrawl 39 at Charles Clore Beach

Image
We've got perfect weather and perfect site for WW SketchCrawl 39. Beaches and promenades were always my favorite sketching places. But at this season, a moment before it gets too hot, it's really perfect place! I've started with the view on the promenade, capturing some of my fellows sketchers After warming up, my friends and I moved to Alma Beach coffee shop and a half of the place were filled by us, sketchers ;-) view to the beach from Alma Beach coffee shop   at Alma I've captured some other sketchers at work :-) Then I get down to the beach and captured some views there: It is always nice to see familiar faces of sketchers that coming every sketchcrawl. And it's even nicer to see newcomers that joined for the first time and rediscovered the joy of sketching after a break of many years!

At the Tel Aviv port

Image
I had a meeting at the Tel Aviv port a couple days ago and, of course,  managed to make some sketches in between. These wonderful spring days are so great, but you don't know it, sitting all the day near your computer in a tiny studio, trying to meet your deadlines.

People and other animals

Image
Here are sketches from our last Sketchcrawl at Park Hayarkon near Bavli small zoo area. The place was perfect for lazy sketcher - I didn't need to move from my place - my "models" just moved opposite me. Sketching animals isn't my cup of tea, but I have to admit, it was fun! Well, sketching people was fun as well ;-)

Purim - sketching the carniaval

Image
Every year when Purim comes, my fingers start itching - I'm thinking about all these wonderful opportunities to sketch during various carnivals that we have at this holiday. It's very fun, but very challenging and sometimes frustrating. There are so many wonderful stories on the street - proud parents, that were waiting for an opportunity to dress their kids with costumes, even if them only a few mouth old; teenager girls dressed very sexy - finally it's allowed officially; teenager boys that cut and dyed their hair in extremely weird ways; old people trying to be cool and wearing very strange stuff... and so on. I wish my fingers could move as fast as my eyes, but they don't. So majority of funny stories will be left in my memory, here are some I succeed to capture. Here's the first sketch that I drew before the carnival began, you can see the security guys guarding the closed street and people waiting: I continued sketching in a small sketchbook, trying to cat...
