Sketching alongside
a colleague from the worldwide Urban Sketchers community always highlights the
joy of our shared passion. Working in near silence for an hour and a half with
José in Vila Viçosa produced two very contrasting works, but this is the magic
of urban sketching. We discussed this alchemy later over a drink, marvelling at
the individuality and vitality of our chosen pursuit.
Sevilla-based
sketcher Inma Serrano (@inmaserranito), whose workshop I took at the 2018 USk
Porto Symposium, has long been an inspiration for me. Here I had in mind her
quirky perspective effects, and bold yet simple use of line and colour. This row
of houses in Rua dos Combatents da Grande
Guerra seemed ideal to produce a work of whimsy and charm. Gracias
Inma, obrigado José.
