Hot, hot, hot, cold!


Spent the day with my family while my nephews are still on school holiday. We first went to see The Art of the Brick Lego exhibition at Sydney Town Hall. I managed to fit in some quick sketches while we were there, but its always hard when you're with others who aren't sketching too.We later headed back to my brother's place, and popped over to Maroubra Beach to throw a little frisbee. The ENTIRE week was sooo hot, but the day we went – it was so cold, and so freakin windy. People were flying kites and paragliding! But I was determined to do some sketching as I vary rarely visit the beach.




Sydney Opera House Sketches


I did the first sketch of the Sydney Opera House while waiting for my Ferry (that is about 10 minutes) from the Ferry Wharf next to where I live. It's a very quick sketch (goes well with my personality) and I was able to add some color in the Ferry. The trip from Luna Park to Circular Quay is about 5 minutes but is great to cross the Harbour. I did the second sketch when the ferry was entering in the wharf.

Adelaide, South Australia





I came back last Sunday from my second visit to South Australia. I specially love the beach there, where I did those sketches, near Adelaide. The water is calm, fresh and transparent. The sand is white. The jetties give the perfect shadow for when is to hot, and the sun goes to rest in the Antartic Ocean creating beautiful colors. The one from my drawing was from the last sunset of the year 2011, a sketch to conclude a year!
