<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't mean I'm attracted to the dark
'Nosferatu-style' or that I have the full collection of KISS greatest hits.
Instead, I find that sketching night scenes is quite a challenge, given the
little tools a sketcher can carry. Pencil, a couple pens, watercolors and
limited time....</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I began sketching I did not know how
to get it, since using watercolor everything tends to look as a sunny midday
flowery scene in the park. But some time ago, Robert Muts told me his secret:
Before applying watercolor, he paints the shadows with an ink wash, leaving
only what will be in the highlights untouched. After that, all hues done in
watercolor will be subdued. It has to be waterproof (Noodlers in my case) ink,
otherwise it muddles when wet again. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, in real life colors in the dark desaturate
to the point of total dark. And coloring a highly desaturated scene is a real
challenge. So I try once and again. </span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bonsai Tree in the Temple of
Literature, Hanoi</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These trees always amazed me. Some key principles in bonsai aesthetics
include:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Miniaturization: Trees are kept small
enough to be container-grown while fostered to have a mature appearance.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Proportion among elements: The most
prized proportions mimic those of a full-grown tree as closely as possible. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Asymmetry: Bonsai aesthetics discourage
strict radial or bilateral symmetry in branch and root placement.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-No trace of the artist: The designer's
touch must not be apparent to the viewer. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Poignancy: Many of the formal rules of
bonsai help the grower create a tree that expresses 'Wabi-sabi', a
comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of
transience and imperfection.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The Bonsai tradition dates back over a
thousand years, a period that not only gives one something to reflect upon, but
also equals the age of the Temple of Literature, Hanoi, where this tree lives.<br />
It was built in 1070 then reconstructed several times. In 1076, Vietnam's first
university was established within the temple to educate Vietnam's bureaucrats,
nobles, royalty and other members of the elite. Over the centuries it lost
relevance until in 1800 the Nguyen monarchs founded the Hue capital where they
established a new imperial academy. (Moleskine 13x21)</span><!--EndFragment--> </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scooter girl</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After going through rice paddies, street
vendors, floating houses and women in cone hats, I wanted to draw something
modern. Vietnam is not hovering on a sleepy -or bloody- past but facing the
future. Not pretty, as today's Vietnamese cities are a beehive of cellphones
and activity. But good for them for sure.<br />
I found lately about 'frontier markets': Smaller and less accessible -but still
"investable"- markets in countries of the developing world. Wikipedia
lists 25: first in the list is Argentina, and last is Vietnam. It seems that
after watching so many Vietnam War movies from the comfort of our upholstered
cinema chairs, we are now on the same boat. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This makes me wonder -both- why we fell
so fast or what these guys did to climb out of the hole. But, anyway, Kudos to
that. These people deserve it, they are hard, earnest workers that instead of
debating ideology from half a century ago are growing at breakneck speed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">So my choice was this: the modern vietnamese
girl you see everywhere, having dropped the cone hat, they proudly ride their
(own) scooters, dress western style, a cellphone their lifeline. Usually hidden
behind those Surgical masks: funnily, I assumed they wore them to avoid sunburn
(in the east clear skin is preferred) but they use at night time too, so who
knows. Of course, I took a picture
and drew from it.</span><!--EndFragment--></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Floating houses</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I had no watercolors or the chance to use
them, and I painted this with some Derwent I had with me. I'm not sure about
the results...<br />
Floating homes. In Vietnam there are many of these. You see them everytime you
ride a boat. Big, massive clusters of floating mass. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oil barrels, wood planks, metal sheet,
barking dogs, hanging wash, crazy faded colors and broken furniture splashing
happily.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">For who may have some romantic notion about
living in something like this, a short train of thought including lack of
electricity, water, sewers or gas for cooking/heating is a nice smack of
reality. Poor guys, winter there must be hell...</span><!--EndFragment--></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alleys do attract me quite. Maybe because
on our regular Latin American cities -always under an iron square grid- there
are no back alleys, only repeating standard size streets. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A side note: spanish colonial urbanists
measured all in 'varas' (sticks). A 'vara' is 86,6 cm long: 3 feet. A yard, for
anglo culture. Now, it seems that 'conquistadores' wanted it easy on math, as
for those enlightened minds anything where you needed more than the fingers to
count was rocket science. So every time they could get away with it, things
measured 10. Thus: 10 varas (8,66 mt. or 10 yards to you non-metric-heretics)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's why in every argentine city
streets are 8,66 m wide -so you have no space to park or have a decent traffic
flow- and most land plots are 10 yards in the front: architectural hell leading
to narrow buildings full of twists and quirks, and the reason we have these slivered,
hungered facades. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, maybe I derailed just a tad... The
point is, I love alleys, specially when they are dark, dirty, and in the back
of restaurants, as this here in the waterfront at Hoi An. It reminds me of the
'spaghetti and meatballs' scene in 'Lady and the Tramp'. (13x21 Watercolor
Moleskine).</span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hoi An, a 'theme park' experience.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This must have been a beautiful city. It's
recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. its Ancient Town is an
exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating
from the 15th to the 19th century. It was the largest harbour in Southeast Asia
2000 years ago and was known as Lâm Ấp Phố (Champa City), or city of the Cham,
that controlled the strategic spice trade and with this won incredible wealth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Homes in the ancient town still have
wooden fronts, and you can imagine the characters of Marguerite Duras's L'Amant
(The Lover) sweating in silent passion behind those closed wooden shutters,
under a lazy ceiling fan.<br />
One wonders what would Mme. Duras (or the Cham for that case, should they be
looking from their Chinese heaven) think of the manner these wonderful houses
and streets metamorphosed into souvenir stalls that'd belong right there in
Main Street Fantasyland, Orlando. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vietnamese street vendors can be roughly
divided into three types: those who constantly move around either by bike or on
foot, those have a stable stand on a street and, lastly, those who own a shop
and expand their products on the pavement. They serve as an informal yet
extremely important agent in the local economy.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those in the first type are all over. One
can pick up a meal or snack from them as soon as one gets hungry. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You buy Banh Mi (Bread) or Pho (Soup)
from these sellers, among a myriad of goods: water, vegetables, fruit...
Usually they carry a crippling load -twice their own weight- in these wicker
contraptions, a vietnamese tradition as old as the sea.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I admire how hard they work. Many people do backbreaking work from 6
AM to midnight daily just to make a few 'Dong'. ($) </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I specially admire women in
Vietnam. They seem to silently and
with immutable elegance handle some of the most difficult jobs, work the
longest hours, and are still expected to single-handedly take care of the kids
and prepare the family meals. Kudos to the Vietnamese women.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lately, I'm quite into broken angles. And
when it comes to that, any city block in any Asian city will give you more
twists, rotations and skewed perspectives than you can bargain for. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <b>Flags</b></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The manner people relate to their flag
tells volumes about their sense of nation. In some countries...well yes, there
is a flag. A well loved symbol appearing here and there, mostly in public
buildings, flying a lonely color blur. Argentina is like that: here and there
you see a flag hanging from a window on our national holiday. Of course, when
the national football (soccer) team plays elsewhere, things are quite different...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yet in others, flags are everywhere,
pinpointing the city as an everyday staple. France, India and the USA being
very notable examples. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But nowhere I've seen as many national
flags as in Vietnam. That red and yellow patch is everywhere. Maybe it was
because I visited on the Chinese New Year? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You walk an alley and find flag after
small flag, hanging from the humblest window. The irony of it sharing colors
with the -also ever present and many times quite near- Mc Donalds banners seems
lost to many.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tried my hand twice at these flags, but
I'm not happy with either. When all the rest is colorless, controlling the reds
in these was quite a challenge. (Moleskine 13x21)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had been sitting in that restaurant some
time already, and these two bikes were at the side. Not always one has
something nice to draw at hand, but these two were worth it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bicycles in Vietnam.... When I visited
the first time in 2001, everyone had one, and families struggled to buy a
motorcycle. There were motor bikes in the street, yes, but half of all two
wheelers were bicycles.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Today... lets say that 13 years ago I panicked riding MY bike in Bangkok, and
felt relieved when I arrived in the -relative- quiet of Saigon. Now, there is
no difference. Riding a bicycle in today's 'Vietnamese beehive cities' (Hanoi
and Saigon) is as safe as BASE jumping. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But... there are still some street
vendors immutably -and solemnly- moving back and forth some goods. Brooms,
flowers, kitchen pans, and a lot of other stuff imposible to sell from a
motorcycle. For them, bicycles are more a moving stall than a vehicle, and most
times they WALK the bicycle, rather than ride it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This chair was there, being fixed at a
carpentry shop in Hoi An.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Not only it was an interesting art subject by itself. It also forced me into
evaluating the western attitude of replacing perfectly good stuff with new,
more fashionable but similar items, against this approach, where things are
fixed over and over through generations no matter the effort.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Red River flows from Yunnan in
southwest China through northern Vietnam. It divides Hanoi in half and the
historical cantilever Long Biên Bridge connects both halves.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bridge was heavily (and unsuccessfully)
bombarded during the war. Under it and along the river, poor families coming
from many rural areas of Vietnam live in boats under canvas and plywood huts.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the facts that amazes me the most
in Vietnam is the fashion houses are open to the street. In the west, the line
between public and private is quite defined. A fence in USA and Europe, and a
heavily closed metal door (often with an armed security guy behind) in South
America.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Southeast Asia instead the street is
an extension of the house. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Doors? What?<br />
I've seen a 5-table family gathering - maybe a wedding?- catered for on the alley in front of
the houses, with all the neighborhood joining in, apparently. The street is not
something 'outside' your house. It's instead part of your home. There you eat,
play (maybe pray too), and quite possibly also -though I did not witness it-
love. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And inside the houses -as you can inspect
them freely from the street- always the same mix: a fridge, a plasma TV, a
temple and the motorcycle. Sometimes, a table, but people watch TV and eat
sitting on the floor, so tables are not really needed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most southamerican cities were built over a
grid, brought by spaniards and directly inherited from the Roman Legions. In
every argentine city- as in many other countries- the grid is tyrannical, and
centers in a square where -unavoidably- there is a statue of the national hero
or founding father near the cathedral and a town hall.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
For my eyes, these oriental cities, where streets are narrow and winding, house
fronts so close to one enother you can jump to the front neighbor's balcony,
and building itself a mass of haphazard materials seemingly sewn together by a
nightmare of cables, is as strange and alluring as the moons of Jupiter. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Vietnam -as in all the East- life is
on the street. Steve McCurry, globally known photographer author of a famous
portrait of a green eyed afghan girl, put it beautifully: 'In the secular West,
where nothing is sacred, everything seems hidden; yet in Asia, where nothing is
hidden, everything is sacred'.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I spent hours photographing from the street the interior of homes and people
smiled and seemed happy about it.
Vietnamese folks eat, chat, get a haircut or place some tables on the
street to have friends for dinner. And it works wonderfully. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">
I was specially shocked by the usual lack of chairs, tables or couches. It's
because life is not only in the street, it's also on the floor. Since life is
done sitting or lying on the floor, furniture makes no sense. Ah, we carry so
much overhead here on the west...</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scooters are to Vietnam what horses were to the Far West. People do anything and everything with them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first time I went there was 13 years ago. The street was half bicycles and half scooters. Now, only old people use bicycles, and scooters are hot. It makes sense: Vietnam cities are not that big, and in many narrow streets cars are too big. Also, a family can buy a scooter for 1/5 of the price of a car. And they don't need a garage, since in most homes the ground floor -average 3x3 mt.- has to make room for a freezer, a TV, a motorcycle, a small temple and a family dining on the floor. In that order.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One good thing about bikes: you can
'custom fit' them far more than a car. Of course there are many standard scooters
carrying from one inexpressive passenger (maybe with a dog sitting behind) to a
family of four (really!). But many are customized to a special need. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've seen scooters carrying 3 live pigs
in their bamboo cylindrical capsules, 6 m long aluminum racks (horizontally), a
door (vertically), 2m. high tangerine trees, many -many- 'bulky' bulks, half a
shop stock and a heavy roll top desk. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This here, customized for a carpenter,
carried quite more than a desk. I bet it was a whole week production being
delivered.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you stroll on a Vietnamese town, quite
fast you'll be offered a ride in a cyclo, as cycle rickshaws are known in
Vietnam. cyclo raiders are thin as wire and stroll endlessly back and forth.
Anyone of them could win the Tour de France easily given the chance. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cycle rickshaws are found in all the east,
with variations: In India and
China (and Cuba!), the passenger seat is located behind the driver, while in
Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam the driver sits behind the passenger seat.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They make sense, since cyclos are quicker
than other forms of transport if traffic congestion is high. Also cycle
rickshaw driving provides essential employment for recent immigrants from rural
areas, generally impoverished men</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In many cities, most drivers do not own
their own cycle rickshaws; instead, they rent them from their owners, some of
whom own many. My first time in Vietnam 13 ears ago, cyclos were all different.
Now, they are homogeneous, a clare sign that they belong to a company. Up to
this point: I saw a row of - say- 30 identical cyclos in a row, each one
carrying a japanese tourist, camera in hand. And each head with an identical

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All over the East people eat on the
street. I've seen this in India, Thailand and Vietnam, and for all I know, it's
the same in the rest of Southeast Asia. Of course now you have also McDonalds,
but there, the 'golden arches' have two funny overtones. First, people visit
them as a weekend retreat, not as a quick lunch solution. Families go there
sundays to spend the day. And -in Vietnam- McDonalds signs are done in the same
yellow and red hue of the 'hammer and sickle' communist banners hanging all
over by the sidewalk meters away. Ironies of life.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
But when it comes to real food, you go to these street stalls. They are all
over the cities, catered by a family, and people sit on the sidewalks in those
omnipresent red and blue low stools, and enjoy these 'home meals'. I was always
aiming at omelet and 'Bánh mì' (Small baguettes) as I did not understand what
was into most food. But you have any kind of food done by the street vendors,
and modern life does not seem to be changing this custom.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Banyan is a fig that starts its life as
an epiphyte (a plant growing on another plant) when its seeds germinate in the
cracks and crevices on a host tree. These small seeds are dispersed by birds
and many land on branches and stems of trees. When they germinate they send
roots down towards the ground, and may envelop part of the host tree, giving
banyans the casual name of "strangler fig", as often it applies heavy
pressure and kills the tree. Such an 'enveloped' dead tree eventually rots away
so that the Da (banyan) becomes a "columnar tree" with a hollow central
core. In jungles such hollows are particularly desirable shelters.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Banyans are often symbol of a village or a
temple. In Vietnam many temples and pagodas have one of these trees near the
entrance. The 'Da' tree stands for strong and admired historical figures. It's
also considered witness the changing of people, the heavens and the whole life
cycle. Children play in their roots and teens start dating there. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Da trees are a symbol of longevity,
strength and wisdom all over Asia and many writers use them. In Salman
Rushdie's 'The Satanic Verses' the roots of an enormous banyan tree cover an
area "half a mile in diameter" and in Brian W Aldiss's 'Hothause' a
single huge banyan covers half of the globe.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The old Augustinian monastery gave its
name to this place. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The centerpiece, a fountain, is really a
2.0 version. The first one had been built around 1705, with a pyramid and a
ball at the top, but it disappeared without a trace during the French
Revolution, possibly part of a barricade. In 1820, after Napoleon's fall, the
reinstalled Bourbon regime ordered the construction of a new one. This one was
to be built with a circular basin, using an ancient roman column, remnant of an
old palace. The local forger Aigueparre executed the bronze 12 points star on
the top. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you visit Aix today, most probably
you'll pay more attention to the classy bars and shops that skirt the place,
and make it a wonderful watering hole in the shadow of a hot summer day. (And
I'm not thinking of the fountain). </span></span></div>

Revolucion Francesa, probablemente dentro de una barricada. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">En 1820 tras la caida de Napoleon, el
reinstalado regimen Borbon ordeno la construccion de una nueva fuente. Esta iba
a tener un baño circular, usando una antigua columna romana, resto de un viejo

12 puntas en bronce para el remate. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">Para quien visite Aix hoy, es mas probable
que preste atencion a los elegantes bares y negocios que rodean al lugar, y lo
hacen un lugar perfecto para refrescarse con un trago en un caluroso dia de
verano a la sombra de un caluroso dia de verano (Y no estoy pensando en la

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The old village, built on a rocky hill

ramparts are dark, humid and tricky to maintain.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the 19th century, the inhabitants had
enough and started to move down in the valley, dismantling the roof of their
houses to stop paying property taxes and creating a new, modern community in
the valley: 12th century danger was gone. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So by the beginning of the 20th century,

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">En el siglo 19, los habitantes se

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But it has a 'Vieille Quartier', once

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People sit and sketch in bars. I never
knew how they do it, since every time I sit in a cafe all I see is the back of
a fat couple drinking beer. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I wanted to give it a try. There is
this 'promenade' in Aix-En-Provence, the Cours Mirabeau, full of bars (and
tourists). I needed breakfast and this cafe, Le Grillon, was quite appealing:
Paul Cezanne had it as his watering hole.
So I begun hopping from seat to seat, dodging visual barriers, until I
found this viewpoint. Three planes, front, middle and back. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A perfect place to order 'cafe au lait

Nunca supe como hacen, ya que cada vez que me siento en un cafe todo lo que veo
es la espalda de una pareja de gorditos tomando cerveza. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Asi que lo intente. Existe este paseo en
Aix-En-Provence, el Cours Mirabeau, lleno de bares (y turistas). Necesitaba
desayunar y este cafe, Le Grillon, era muy atractivo: Paul Cezanne paraba ahi. Asi que empece a
saltar de asiento a siento, evitando barreras visuales, hasta que encontre este
punto de vista. Tres planos: frente, medio y fondo.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Le Grillon Cafe 2 - Aix-En-Provence</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many sketchers post what they do as they
do it. I don't have the time or chance to draw much at home, but I'm lucky I
can travel twice a year. Before 2011, I used that chance to do photo, now I
sketch. Everytime I travel I come back with 40-50 sketches, so I create an
album and add two a week, trying to write something interesting about each one.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I say this now, because some days ago I
posted a sketch made at the Cafe Grillon, Aix-En-Provence, and this one is its
'sibling'. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While I was drawing the last one I had to
'wash my hands'. Doing so, I found that in the first floor of the cafe -a
classic 19th century rich family 'hotel'- they had had a ballroom with a great
chandelier on its center. And below it, a big elliptical hole where, on its
railings, I imagine young 'debutantes' leaning lazily on big parties. Who
knows... <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a mental note to remember that
place for a rainy day, and had my chance for sure a couple days later. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Muchos dibujantes publican sus sketches a
medida que los hacen. Yo no tengo el tiempo o la posibilidad de dibujar mucho
en mi vida normal, pero tengo la suerte de poder viajar dos veces al año. Antes
de 2011 la usaba para hacer fotos y ahora dibujo. Cada vez que viajo regreso
con 40-50 dibujos, asi que creo un album y le agrego dos por semana, tratando
de escribir algo de interes sobre cada uno. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Digo esto ahora ya que hace unos dias
publique un dibujo hecho en el Cafe Grillon, Aix-En-Provence, y este es su
'hermano'. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cuando estaba dibujando el anterior tuve
que 'lavarme las manos'. Asi descubri que en el primer piso del cafe - una
clasica mansion de familia rica del siglo 19- tenian un salon de baile con una
gran araña en el centro. Y debajo de ella, un gran agujero eliptico donde -en
su baranda- imagino jovenes 'debutantes' apoyadas distraidamente en grandes
fiestas. Quien sabe...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I remember this sketch as a big

my car I saw this small window on a stone wall. The sun was late, and the
shadow work, added to the size of the window, quite interesting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, not only was I leaving, but
these late shadows move very fast. I wanted to draw it, so I got a photo and
did it at home. What I wanted to get at was the brightness of the wood, almost
white, even while the wood itself was blue. So I tried this: I left the wood
white, and only painted blue the deep shadows. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

ademas estas sombras tardias se mueven muy rapido. Queria dibujarla, asi que
tome una foto y la dibuje en casa. Lo que queria mostrar era el brillo de la
madera, casi blanco, aun cuando la madera en si era azul. Asi que hice esto: deje
la madera blanca y solo pinte de azul las sombras. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After biking up and down the town a

walk out of that spot unharmed by vehicles passing centimeters away from my
knees. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've learned some new things on this
trip. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One is the importance of being able to
create surface values with a pen: a hatching technique one can use anywhere,
nothing fancy or apparent. I owe this to Wes Douglas, Paul Heaston, Fabian
Mezquita and Joe Milazzo. Watching carefully what the first three do and
reading Joe's comment on his use of the vertical linework, I'm getting mine. I
see now how much last year's sketches lacked that texture, difficult to achieve
just with watercolor.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another is the value of getting off a
sketch when it needs nothing more. I planed on coloring this one, but I believe
it's enough with the monochrome values it already has. Watercolor may add some,
but it's not really needed. Just overkill...and this is new for me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">..<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aprendi algunas cosas nuevas en este
viaje.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Una es la importancia de poder crear
valores der superficie con una lapicera, una tecnica de tramado que uno pueda
usar en cualquier parte, nada muy vistoso o aparente. le debo esto a Wes
Douglas, Paul Heaston, Fabian Mezquita y Joe Milazzo. Mirando cuidadosamente lo
que hacen los primeros tres y leyendo lo que comento Joe sobre su uso de las
lineas verticales, estoy logrando mi estilo. Veo ahora hasta que punto mis
dibujos del año pasado no tienen esa textura, muy dificil de lograr solo con
acuarela. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Otra es el valor de abandonar un sketch
cuando no necesita nada mas. Planeaba colorear este, pero creo que con los
valores monocromos que tiene es suficiente. Las acuarelas pueden agregar otras
cosas, pero no hacen realmente falta. Estaria de mas...y esto es nuevo para mi. </span><!--EndFragment--></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tourism has ruined Europe. When I went to Madrid in 1969 for the first time my father brought me to a tiny hole in the wall of Arco de Cuchilleros. There, in near darkness, a woman -that looked as having been there since it was built - sold almonds from burlap bags. The aroma of that stall, the -never tried before- taste of the almonds and the centuries in the woman's face never left me....</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those textured spots where everywhere. Today, instead, all you see are bars, shops and monuments: polished remnants ready for tourist consumption. The locals shelter behind that lame surface.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So every time I can, I go behind the scenes and visit the back alleys. There, unpolished and fresh, lies the real city in all its mess and magic.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">El turismo ha arruinado Europa. Cuando fui a Madrid por primera vez en 1969 mi padre me llevo a un agujero en la pared del Arco de Cuchilleros. Ahi, casi en tinieblas, una mujer - que parecia haber estado alli desde que se construyo- vendia almendras de una holsa de arpillera. El aroma de ese cuchitril, el -nunca probado antes- sabor de las almendras y los siglos en la cara de la mujer nunca me abandonaron.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Esos lugares texturados estaban en todas partes.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't have much chance of sketching
when I'm home, but when I travel I can make some 60-80 drawings in a month
(next month!!), that last thru the year. Then, I try to post my drawings twice
a week, as religiously as going to church: Thursday and Sunday. As the US
Postal service: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night". (Why I tell this, I don't know).</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I was in Vancouver I made a sketch
of this concrete plant that did not come out so well. I was uncomfortable and
had to rush it. And had no clue how to color it, so I fumbled it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took then a photo from a better angle
-not available to stay and draw from- and yesterday tried something I'd not
done yet: a bigger A4 drawing. All I do is 24x17. A4 (21x30) is 50% bigger. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I finished I found that drawing
bigger has its quirks and perks. And, again, had no clue how to color it, so I
left as this. I will begin exploring monochrome line drawing too. I think not all
scenes are up to watercolor and also that there's a point on line detail that
leaves no space for washes or color. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cuando estaba en Vancouver hice un sketch
de esta planta de hormigon que no me salio bien. Estaba incomodo y tuve que
apurarme. Y no encontre como colorearlo, asi que lo arruine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saque entonces una foto de un angulo
mejor -donde no hubiera podido instalarme a dibujar- y ayer probe algo que no
habia hecho antes: Un dibujo en A4. Todo lo que hago es 24x17 y A4 (21x30) es
50% mas grande.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cuando terminé descubrí que dibujar mas
grande tiene sus vueltas y ventajas. Y, otra vez, no encontre como colorearlo,
de modo que lo deje asi. Voy a empezar a explorar el dibujo monocromo de linea
tambien. Creo que no todas las escenas sirven para la acuarela y tambien que
hay un punto en el detalle de lineas que no deja espacio para aguadas o color.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront in Seattle, WA. There are two bridges

spills into the otherwise dark halls.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Port Moody is a district near
Coquitlam,BC, where my friend Steve lives. After begging him to find a nice
place to sketch he drove me there on a Sunday, to the Port Moody Station Museum,
that highlights the history of the place from the aboriginal presence to the
1940s.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was quite hot, so even when at the
front is the magnificent Venosta, a first-class sleeper car, I stayed safely
inside the museum and made two drawings in the shadow. This here was the desk
of the station manager in the 1940's, right from a hard-boiled detective novel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

lindo lugar para dibujar me llevo ahi un domingo, al Museo de la Estacion de
Port Moody, que muestra la historia del lugar desde sus inicios hasta los
1940s.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hacia mucho calor, asi que a pesar de que
en el frente esta estacionado el Venosta, un magnifico coche cama de 1º clase,
me quede protegido dentro del museo e hice dos dibujos en la sombra. Este era
el escritorio del Jefe de Estacion en los 1940's, directamente salido de un
policial de la serie negra. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spent a morning in Stanley Park
(Vancouver) forcing myself to draw nature, something I never do since I live in
a massive grey latin american city. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did not know what to do. I walked for a
while around that wonderful place, possibly the most amazing park close to a
city in the world. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After an hour looking at trees and leaves
and plants and more trees I decided upon this dry trunk. And a rock. The only
nature alive are this tiny leaves crossing by. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's what happens when you are an

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No sabia que hacer. Camine un rato por
ese lugar maravilloso, probablemente el parque mas impresionante del mundo al

Despues de una hora y pico mirando arboles y hojas y plantas y mas arboles me
decidi por este tronco seco. Y una roca. La unica cosa viva son esas hojitas
cruzando. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I posted a 'half done' A4 sketch
and learned a lesson. A friend told me about 'the voices' in a drawing. Line
work is a voice, shadow another, color another, etc. as in an orchestra. So
what I felt unfinished could do with some shadows but needed no color, in
opposition to my idea of coloring everything.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I post now another one, that should go
together with the first. This is a sketch I did in Vancouver. I did not finish
it there as I run out of time and planned to color it. I brought it back as
this and was lingering on how to color it. Today's comments showed me I do not
always need color since some drawings are intrincate enough and need no more. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hoy publique un dibujo 'por la mitad' y
aprendi una leccion. Un amigo me hablo de las 'voces' en un dibujo. Asi que el
trabajo de linea es una voz, las sombras otra, el color otra, etc. como en una
orquesta. Y lo que yo consideraba incompleto podia necesitar algunas sombras
pero no necesitaba color, en oposicion a mi idea de colorear todo lo que hago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Asi que posteo este otro, que deberia ir
junto al primero. Es un sketch que hice en Vancouver. No lo termine porque se
me acabo el tiempo y planeaba colorearlo. Lo traje de regreso asi, y estaba
dudando como terminarlo. Los comentarios de hoy me enseñaron que no siempre
debo colorear ya que algunos dibujos son suficientemente intrincados y no necesitan
nada mas. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wide angle perspective appeals a lot to me. It comes from my photo experience, as my Wide Angle 16-35 zoom was the lens I had on all the time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a kind of spatial structure one can and should build at complex angles. So, I created an album with a step by step.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a photo of this one when it was done 6 months ago because I knew some day I would use it. If one 'builds' the space at first, then all falls into place.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Las perspectivas 'en gran angular' me encantan. Cuando hago fotos, mi mejor amigo es el zoom wide angle 16-35. Me habia olvidado que cuando hice esto hace 6 meses tenia todo el tiempo del mundo y lo fui fotografiando.Sabia que algun dia me iba a ser util.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dibujando es lo mismo. Me resulta muy bien con angulos complejos hacer una trama espacial en lapiz 'generando' una trama espacial donde ubicar todo. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More than 75 years later, it was saved
from the boneyard by Sandbar Restaurant on Granville Island, Vancouver. They
mounted the vessel in front of a concrete footing of the Granville Street

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My story is that I was very tired and did
not want to draw all the details in the bridge, so I rushed it with the inkwork
so that was that. In the end, the bridge and the ink background is what I like
most... 17x24, ink and watercolor.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friend Steve treated me to a couple
days camping near Vancouver. The
very first day he instructed me how to use 'bear (pepper) spray' on a bear. It
has a safety clip, the bear has to be between 4 and 5 meters and you have to
spray on the wind direction, otherwise it works on you. It came with a bear
& tourist funny story that made me chill.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first day I chose a place to draw
apart from the camp, but planned my escape route as to plunge in the water if bears came to peek. The second day I
decided the good place to draw without half my mind checking for bears was the
camp itself, really close to Steve.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

de Vancouver. El primer dia me enseño como usar spray de pimienta para osos si
hay un oso cerca. Tiene un seguro, el oso debe estar entre 4 y 5 metros y hay
que apuntar en la direccion del viento o funciona al reves, en uno mismo. Me
conto ademas una historia muy divertida de oso & turista que me dejo helado.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ballard is one of the oldest
neighborhoods in Seattle. My first days there I was ill, so much of what I did
was around the neighborhood, since after some time I needed to back to rest. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The houses are beautiful. Those wooden
homes are so strange to us -in Argentina it's all brick and mortar- that I
wanted to draw them all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, one morning I drew one. The next
morning another. When the third day I wanted to go out and draw the yet
another, I looked at drawings #1 and #2 (thanks, St Exupery) and realized that
-in my sketches- they looked as made by the same guy at the same time, though
in reality they were absolutely different. So I gave up and wen to draw
something else. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ballard es uno de los barrios mas
antiguos de Seattle. Mis primeros dias ahi estuve enfermo, asi que la mayoria
de lo que hice fue alrededor del barrio, dado que de a ratos necesitaba volver
y descansar. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Las casas son muy atractivas. Estas
construcciones de madera son tan extrañas para nosotros -en Argentina es todo
cal y ladrillos- que las queria dibujar a todas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Asi que una mañana dibuje una y la mañana
siguiente otra. Cuando al tercer dia quise salir a dibujar una mas, mire mis
dibujos #1 y #2 (gracias, St Exupery) y descubri que las casas parecian hechas
por la misma persona al mismo tiempo, a pesar de que en realidad eran
totalmente diferentes. Asi que abandone el intento y me fui a dibujar otra
cosa.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the other hand, I advised friends on
how to do a photo of a sketch if you have no scanner, so I had to give it a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Long lens (not "wide"),
immobilize camera against a chair, or whatever is firm, shoot in the shadow and
have the drawing plane perpendicular to the lens.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After that, retouch with levels,

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">Hay que poner la camara en tele (no Wide),
asegurarla apretandola contra algo fijo (una silla, un poste, lo que sea),
poner el dibujo en la sombra perfectamente perpendicular al eje del lente y ya
esta. Y despues ajustar con niveles en Photoshop, Pixlr o cualquier editor de
imagenes</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I learned something. I followed Robert Muts tip and solved something I had no idea how to do: How to place shadows in a watercolor piece without muddling the color when it mixes with the darker hue. .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Possibly there are many more sophisticated ways, but this one works wonders for my needs. Instead of adding darker watercolor over a brighter one -or the opposite- Robert suggested I paint the shadows with ink, and then watercolor over it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the ink is fixed, it does not melt, and the watercolor over it is perfectly saturated. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course this is a crude example I did as a test, and don't ask me what this is. It's just a thing full of angles and shadows.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also I drew -and painted- it twice, one with china ink and the other with Noodler's black Bulletproof. I don't see much difference. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This two step is before and after coloring, quite obviously....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8jEjNrnruDZj6WbsUetjDNjsrn5JhLJ29s-FmDO70s9EaGWc_rIO9KckOIGoUP32vHu8QdyJTCm94_yS1UoG-426-6INTwcocBMnR2FPXfpcHphuwAircNbU5zlotlvcTHNF76RNfHhs/s1600/09.9.+Bologna+Night+doble.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8jEjNrnruDZj6WbsUetjDNjsrn5JhLJ29s-FmDO70s9EaGWc_rIO9KckOIGoUP32vHu8QdyJTCm94_yS1UoG-426-6INTwcocBMnR2FPXfpcHphuwAircNbU5zlotlvcTHNF76RNfHhs/s640/09.9.+Bologna+Night+doble.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I made a real sketch. I always wanted to paint the night, and had no idea how to do it. His method does wonders. First shadows in ink and THEN watercolor. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This a photo I took on Bologna last year. I always wished to draw an image like that. That's how to do it. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks, man. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Esta es una idea de Robert Muts para que no se empasten las sombras en acuarela. Primero, dar sombras en tinta china, y despues colorear encima en acuarela. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Los colores no se mezclan, ya que la tinta esta fija. Una maravilla.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hice dos pruebas, en tinta y china y Noodlers, ambas diluidas en agua. no veo diferencia...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despues hice un dibujo en serio, sobre una foto de Bologna del año pasado.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Siempre quise dibujar "la noche", y ahora siento que encontre el metodo. </span>Jorge Royanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07568178940836248139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144739241776077544.post-74494995197954188402013-06-10T18:56:00.002-07:002013-06-10T18:57:31.127-07:00Italia 6º Set 2012. 17x24, Pen & Watercolor<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last september in Italy my trip begun in
Marzabotto, a very nice and small 'paese' on the way to Bologna. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stayed there two days, and after that
had to endure a very heavy rain in my van for days, and could go nowhere. But
luckily I had the chance -before getting wet- to make a couple sketchyes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one. The only thing I can say is
that the town had one street and four blocks, that the owner of this farm was
very nice (and talkative!), and that the beer in the nearby café was excellent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

par de dibujos.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Este es uno. Lo unico que podria decir de
este lugar es que el pueblo tenia una calle y cuatro manzanas, que el dueño de
esta granja era muy amable (y charleta!) y que la cerveza en el café vecino era
excelente. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Una vez al mes, en el suplemento "Sabado" de La Nacion, publico uno de estos dibujos. La idea es que muestren la vida de la gente y la ciudad. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Formamos un grupo que se va rotando para publicar, ya que toma un buen rato hacerlos y mas de uno al mes es demasiado. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pero estoy satisfecho, ya que antes tardaba mucho mas. Ahora me di cuenta que si un dibujo de 17 x 24 me toma tres horas, no hay motivo para que uno de estos, que es exactamente el doble (17 x 50), me tome mas de 6, y en eso estoy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here is another "step by step" since I see
perspective does not come so easy if you are not trained. I am liking this J<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, I use ruler and pencil and "construction
lines". I searched carefully into the USK Manifesto and found no mention
against it. No sins commited, so I can use a ruler and still be in a state of
grace!. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am sorry… I know there is people that despise rulers,
abhor of pencil pre-work and like to rough it. Well, maybe I am too old, but if I can have a choice I
prefer sleeping in a bed, since the floor feels harder for me lately.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, here is what I do to get into the space where I am
going to place my stuff. I need to place some lines to be safe. To UNDERSTAND
the space I need to slip some precise lines. The rest comes easy:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All of this is to be done with a ruler. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) I try to find an horizon line (HL - Red). It is an
horizontal line that is usually at eyesight height. (The sea horizon is always
there). And then I find a vanishing point (VPoint), a dot into the HL where all
the lines tend to go to. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I need to look around for some strong lines (BLUE)
that go into that VP. Here I see some lines in the kitchen top and in the
tiling that I can use. I draw them with the ruler. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) There is another set of lines (3) in the other
direction, perpendicular to the blue lines. Those vanish into a VPoint thats
off the drawing, so I kind of have to figure them up. Here they are, two green
lines .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzqTNP8c_G-UpeMKBE-NH7CFH_0B9lg-g3sQitQ41riP09OHnNTSmVafZNBcW_9tiw6eXQ0wAMEJGK9PMjiHG5_Gqo3LlxfXJGsvcIBlgHf7hWqMXlUF567Fsyl5WqFN2rHbkQVL1BpeU/s1600/b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzqTNP8c_G-UpeMKBE-NH7CFH_0B9lg-g3sQitQ41riP09OHnNTSmVafZNBcW_9tiw6eXQ0wAMEJGK9PMjiHG5_Gqo3LlxfXJGsvcIBlgHf7hWqMXlUF567Fsyl5WqFN2rHbkQVL1BpeU/s640/b.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Once the main blue and green lines are placed, I divide
the space between them proportionally, so I can use all these lines as guide
for the freehand drawing that comes after all this. I divide the narrow end in
-say- four spaces, and the same at the wider end. And them I draw some more
lines (three thinner green lines here) that I will use as guides and erase
after ink work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI_Od_f467Ey1eVAwon2PJ5EQgEONfj9mUXmHtHxjpj32wV1BIrEdNkfpz9bEpxiedqj-KDKDRTADE095HKdlXg4OyY20Lbx9izvHyZF8OgpQ1LhTTpr4K21M-xAJhLyGa0j0Xef-7U7c/s1600/a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI_Od_f467Ey1eVAwon2PJ5EQgEONfj9mUXmHtHxjpj32wV1BIrEdNkfpz9bEpxiedqj-KDKDRTADE095HKdlXg4OyY20Lbx9izvHyZF8OgpQ1LhTTpr4K21M-xAJhLyGa0j0Xef-7U7c/s640/a.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4) I do the same with the blue lines, those that go to the
Vpoint, here I make two sets of spaces I the narrow end and two sets in the
wider, and, again, I place six thinner lines, three and three.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I can kick the ruler away but I do have a group of
lines I can trust, and into which I can move without much danger. All the rest
of the drawing can be made by guesswork, and that brings softness to the whole
thing. But this "initial spatial structure" helped me undestand how
the space where I am drawing works. If I get lost, it will not be by much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, all verticals, as a general rule, are vertical. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's it. Good luck. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">KITCHEN STEP BY STEP (17 x 24 cm)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) I plan the drawing in pencil, trying to undestand the
structure of the space I am in, choosing centers of interest and deciding how
to set a dialogue with the borders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) I move into ink. I use either Lamy M + EF nibs
(Noodlers ink) or 0.1 & 0.3 graded pens. I try to define shapes that don't
exactly coincide with the objects depicted, sometimes isolating parts of an
object, sometimes mixing two shapes into one mass.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) I plan and fill the dark areas, trying to place deep
darks or full blacks near the points of interest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4) Watercolor. I am trying to use a limited palette for
the big pieces (Sepia, Indigo, Paynes' Gray, Neutral tint, Ivory black) and use
color to place accents all over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">COCINA PASO A PASO (17 x 24 cm)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) Planeo el dibujo en lapiz, tratando de entender la
estructura del espacio en que estoy, eligiendo puntos de interes y decidiendo
como dialogar con los bordes del dibujo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Paso a tinta. Uso a veces lapiceras Lamy M y EF con
tinta Noodler's. Otras, puntas fijas Pizzini 0,1 y 0,3. Trato de definir formas que no
coincidan exactamente con los limites de los objetos dibujados. A veces
aislando parte de un objeto, otras mezclando varios objetos en una sola masa. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Planeo y relleno las zonas oscuras, tratando de ubicar
sombras o negros cerca de los puntos de interes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4) Acuarela. Estoy tratando de usar una paleta limitada
para las piezas grandes (Sepia, Indigo, Paynes' Gray, Neutral tint, Ivory
black) y usar color para marcar acentos en todas partes. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Ensayos para el Workshop<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hace unos dias me avisaron que mi propuesta para un workshop en el 4º simposio USK en Barcelona fue aceptada, asi que me puse a practicar. Como estamos de vacaciones y tengo a mi familia en casa, trato de estar aqui. Ademas hace calor...</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">El "Workshop" se llama <span style="font-size: 12pt;">"Dibujar como un
pajaro: Como elegir un punto de vista".</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Para practicar esto, cualquier lugar es bueno, mientras
uno pueda definir diferentes planos (frente, medio, fondo). Asi que hoy me
sente tranquilo en mi cocina y empece a mover la cabeza 20 cm para aca, 20 cm para alla, 20 cm
para atras, hasta que encontre este ángulo que me gusta. Estoy también tratando
de dejar espacio en blanco libre en todos mis dibujos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

al taller entiendan que muchas veces un buen sketch no se logra solo con
habilidad en el uso de la tinta o la acuarela, sino en cambio con astucia en
lograr un punto de vista novedoso, establecer profundidad mediante el uso de
planos, etc.</span><br />
