From Barcelona to GRANADA to SEVILLE & MADRID

My long over due post about what we the Asian team did after the Barcelona Symposium. Being one of the youngest member of the 5 member team, I was given the tour guide and holiday planner role to play. Our adventure started with an 11hour overnight train ride down to Granada to visit the magnificent Alhambra. I was blow away by the size, grandeur and craftsmanship of this spanish jewel.

You can see TIA & Pramote hiding under shade while waiting for our turn to enter the Nasrid Palaces at Alhmabra. The mid day heat was really a killer. You do need a siesta to stay sane. We also had the good fortune of meeting and sketching with Inma and the Seville sketchers during our 2 day visit to Seville. Very hospitable bunch. I sketched Santa Ana church (right) as quickly as I could before the daylight went out. La Real Maestranza - Seville

Our wonderful spanish holiday ended with a sketching session organised by the Madrid sketchers. The city of MADRID

Sketches from Europe Trip #1

I arrived home last friday night from my month long trip to Europe. I really had a blast especially in Barcelona. So glad to meet many new faces and also the opportunity to catch up with old friends. We are just like one big family. Happy reunion with many. I am just starting to sort out my photographs and slowly scanning my sketches. It is going to take a while i think so stay tuned. Posting the first two scanned sketches here.
