Sketching along the way

[Bill's_Walking]

I count myself lucky to to be able to walk a portions of the Camino with my daughters. This time I walked with my oldest daughter from Pamplona to Logrono. I made the sketches below and in my replies at our rest stops along the way. This one is the Puente de Carcel in Estella.

This one is from the Plaza de S. Maria in Los Arcos.

My daughter was emphatic that I remember she was wearing a green top while sitting in front of San Pedro in Estella.

I love them all! They are so detailed and intricate, yet in an endearing, quirky way. It is meant as a compliment.
Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Robo!

Are you a 'professional' artist? i.e. you make a living at it. You should be!

Thank you for sharing, they are beautiful. may I ask roughly how long you would spend to complete one? The Plaza de S. Maria is particularly intriquate

Thanks for posting! When I am following trails I am always on the lookout for postcards to send to my mother (91 years). She loved to sketch and paint and still enjoys browsing through art books . Your water colours would make a lovely gift set - as cards, post cards or as a camino booklet with story....

Cheers

Thank you! I like quirky, and thankfully so does my wife, or at least she puts up with it.

Thank you. No, although I am an architect. I just love sketching and drawing.

I think many of us on this forum who enjoy walking, and repeating the Camino paths are a bit quirky...at least I am.

Thank you.

Most of the pen and ink work took about 30 to 40 minutes, on average. The Plaza de S. Maria was a quite a bit longer because I had to keep on turning my head to look at the scene from where I was sitting and each building was slightly ajar from its neighbors. There was a lot of pencil erasure on that one.

Applying the water color took roughly 30 minutes each, maybe more when I had to let the paint dry between adjacent washes.

I agree! You're very talented.

Thank you thank you thank you. I had been thinking about taking up urban sketching, as my European travels slow down, and this has been wonderfully motivational.

You're very welcome. There are urban sketcher groups all over. You should check out if there are any local to you. My local groups sets up weekly sketching trips.

[Kiwi-family]

Thanks for sharing these with us. I echo the question about how long you spent on each (roughly)

You're welcome and thank you. They usually took about half an hour or a little more for the pen and ink work and an other half hour for water color.
