drawing on location
It is raining so much lately here in north Portugal… I took advantage of some sun to go outside and do two drawings. The first one was made to do the shooting for my youtube channel trailer. The second one, some minutes later, in Conchinha Cafe near the beach. A favourite place to draw people.
I just uploaded the trailer of my youtube channel. I hope you enjoy the video and, if yes, please hit the Like button and Subscribe to the channel. If you want to receive notifications every time I post a new video, don’t forget to hit the Bell as well. Thank you!

This one was made from 10.2014 to 12.2014 and is a mixture of notes and drawings. Also, this one has a special meaning… here are the drawings of my first trip to Turkey. If you want to see each one of these drawings in big format, you can go and check my blog where I post just the digitalised drawings.

One important thing when it comes to share urbansketching graphic diaries is to share it from beginning to end. This way you can have a much better understanding of the way it was being used. That said, every sketchbook is different in the sense that some are just full of drawings, others have drawings and everyday notes, and others have just notes. In this series of episodes, where I show you my urbansketching diaries, I will just share the drawings. You don’t have any interest in reading random everyday notes anyway…

A landscape in Serra D’Arga. Drawing made from a very special place…
Serra De Arga (Caminha, Portugal) has really nice little corners. This one is near Mosteiro São João de Arga. A small stream of water passes on the west side of the Monastery, close to a stair way that goes to the main road. I had lunch, I catched some sun and did this drawing.
In the drawing you can read: “While I draw, I’m sleeping. I disconnect from the reality around me. Is it good? I don’t know… Sometimes I feel I miss somethings because I’m drawing. On the other and, I stop talking to myself.”
To draw is a kind of meditation. It relaxes the body and calms the mind. I think this happens because the practice of drawing, like many others, pushes you into this. There is no other way. You have to put your attention on the subject and do it. But there is a catch… It feels that, although your senses are more awake and sharp, you just can focus on one things at a time. That means the surroundings just fade away very easily and fast. Are we being taken, through drawing, to other states of consciousness? I think yes…
It is a great walk to this spot, in my home town. This is part of the West North Natural Parque of Portugal, where the river (Cávado), on the right, meets the sea, on the left. An amazing landscape. In this side, from where I’m drawing, is Ofir. The other, opposite, Esposende.
