Lately – ok for a little while now – I have just been obsessed with certain urban sketchers. And guess what, ok you probably guessed from the title of this post – but they are ALL Spanish…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there just a certain style that comes with being Spanish? I don’t know. but I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is just something so wild and free, playful and child-like about the styles of urban sketching I am about to present to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It just makes me want to pull out a huge sketchbook and start scribbling in crayons using the whole of my arm – just like when we were kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why am I so obsessed with these Spanish Urban Sketchers?! You MUST follow these 5 Spanish (ok, one is Colombian actually but lives in Spain…!) urban sketchers. Here they are in no particular order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Has anyone else noticed the joyous playfulness of these artists’ styles; alight with colour and whimsy and well…child-like glee?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I mean this in the nicest way possible and Spanish urban sketcher and illustrator Maru Godas<\/strong>, who I shall be referencing later on too, even holds workshops called \u201cGouache like a child\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And when I refer to sketches being child-like – I mean filled with magic, wonder and little worry or anxiety for trifling matters like perspective. I am in love with this style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think the following quotes from Picasso some up this sensibility perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEvery child is an artist.<\/strong> The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.<\/strong>\u201d <\/p>\nPicasso<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
