I love the shadows formed by the hilly and narrow streets of Porto.

I have been out from the Blog for a couple of days, although I kept on sketching! I did this watercolor at Porto, during a Class/Sketch session for 15 German architecture students. Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Julia Bargholz , from IGD – Institut für intermediale Gestaltung und Darstellung, Oldenburg, kindly invited me to share some of my works and communicate what I’ve learn from drawing compulsively these last few years. I never refuse this kind of invitations! I hope It was as pleasant for them as it was for me!
Este fim de semana estive a desenhar no Porto a convite da Prof. Julia Bargholz , do Institut für intermediale Gestaltung und Darstellung, Oldenburg. Durante aula/sessão de desenho com os estudantes alemães, desenhamos alguns espaços da baixa, nomeadamente no Largo São João Novo, um dos meus largos favoritos no Porto, dominado pela elevada inclinação e pelo palácio atribuído a Nasoni.

I´ve just scanned the drawing of my post 851 (http://wp.me/pLtki-1qB). I hope you enjoy this version! By the way, these were the only and few blue sky hours in two weeks at Porto, where rained cats and dogs everyday!
Acabo de digitalizar o desenho do meu post 851 (http://wp.me/pLtki-1qB). Espero que gostem desta versão! Ficam assim registadas as poucas e únicas horas de Sol em duas semanas no Porto!
A Mascletà is an an “melodic” explosion, a noisy and huge firework, that is not made to be seen, but to be heard and felt : if you can stand all that power that envolves you !!!! Over the centuries the Valencians developed them into a form of art.
Suddenly, the blue sky gets grey, dotted by yellow, red and sometimes blue and black!
