2588 / Athens rooftop sketch // Greece

After suffering so much painting beaches and landscapes, finally something easy to draw: a good and messy rooftop 🙂 Yahoo!!!
Ok, not suffering at all on Greek beaches, apart when painting them 🙂
What do you find easier to sketch: beaches or cities?

2587 / Favourite house at Vathi beach / Sifnos

Maybe my favourite spot to sketch at Vathi Beach: lovely buildings, nice shadow, sea breeze and benches to sit in, what more can we ask ?
I’ve done several sketches here, what’s your favorite? Slide to check the others.

2576 / Monastiraki / Athens // Greece

Last sketch in Athens, at Monastiraki. I would love to have more time to draw this city: a paradise  to sketch!

I started this sketh before going to Sifnos and finihed it after returning from the island.

2575 / Ferry Athens / Sifnos // Greece

Somewhere on Aegean sea.

Ferry from Sifnos to Athens. I was really tired but I wanted to captured this moment. I almost left the drawing unfinished because of the really stong wind and also I was continuously missing the colors! But an “urban sketch” should be truthful to the circumstances, no?

2573/ Temple of  Olympian Zeus / Athens

Summer sketch at Athens. The impressive Temple of  Olympian Zeus and the Acropolis on the background.  It was so hot, I think my watercolors never got dry so fast! It was hard to work “wet on wet” in these conditions…

1131 / Santorini // Greece

An old one (2011), from Santorini, Greece. I´m glad to realize that my watercolor technic has improved since this sketch! I must return to this incredible island and paint it again!
