Madrid/Spain[RESULTS]

[4ojos]

I took advantage of the recent and unusual snow in Madrid and headed for El Retiro, a great park right in the middle of town. The sun had not yet melted down the snow so I had the chance of drawing a bit with another (shy) sketcher.

Fantastic sketches. They capture the snow so well.

Wonderful color choices to communicate the cold! Great to see these. Thank you!

Wow, beautiful sketches 4ojos! I really like the 4th sketch, the black ink only one. Tremendous, thank you!

Thanks to all. Shaolin7: the statue is a strange one as it represents the "Fallen angel" or the Devil!!!. More info here

I read about the snowstorm the other day in our paper. Glad you were able to capture it before it melted. Wonderful snow sketches!!!

[4ojos]

Thanks to all.
Oporto: no problem about drawing in the snow. As you see in the photo it was a clear, sunny day not too cold. I sketched these spreads the day after the snowing and a couple of them more the very same day. You can see them here http://www.4ojos.com/blog/?p=1064

One more time!!! Stunning sketches 4ojos!!!
Wonderful compositions indeed, also love the way you captured the light!
I've flicked through your Flickr photostream & your blog few times since the last SketchCrawl and I can't believe how prolific you are!!!
How do you manage to produce so much and with such quality!?!?! You really must have 4 eyes and 4 hands too!!!
I take my hat off!
Regards from Barcelona!
All the best!

Muy bellos
los primeros de la nieve podrían inspirar un concept art para una película de cine
Me gusta mucho que no tengan linea de contorno, se sienten más expresivos

Thanks to all of you. It´s snowing again right now so I might take my watercolours and go to the same park in a while!
