I studied History of Art at University (which people always seem to think isn't a real subject - it's TWO subjects in one people....HISTORY and ART....not easy!!) Anyway, although I can not draw to save my life, I love paintings and art work. Over the weekend I discovered an artist whose sketching I love. To be perfectly honest I had kind of forgotten about sketches and actually how much I really like them. Although I do love paintings I think sketches can seem to have more personality, I feel like it is more of a snap shot of life, of movement and you can imagine the life and personalities of cities, people and environment behind the sketch.
We have a property just outside of Marbella and I LOVE it there, as in I would more out there in a flash if we could. I love everything about Spain especially around Marbella (apart from the huge UK influence of eggs and chips) anyway, the artist I discovered is based in Marbella and a lot of her sketches are based around the area and life along the Costa. The artist is Mercedes Lopez Charro her website has a lot of information about her work and you can also follow her on Instagram and buy her work online at Etsy.
Below are a few of her sketches, my favorite one is the Tapas sketch as I love all of that food and when we are out in Spain the husband and I like nothing more than ordering a few plates of Tapas, a beer and a glass of wine and just watching the world go by. Will defo be purchasing it for our Kitchen. Rediscovering sketching has made me even consider giving it a go myself.... so watch this space!
