More hot weather predicted. For Annette and the other Urban Sketchers at the Amsterdam Symposium, it was diabolical. Meanwhile, I’ve just been to Spain and Portugal where it was actually slightly cooler. Sketches were done in each location regardless. Here are the first few.
First group are in Bilbao Spain. The gorgeous Jeff Koons ‘Puppy’ sits patiently at the front of Frank Gehry’s Guggenhein Museum.
Second group is Porto in Portugal. That’s the best known bridge over the River Douro. Some in the evening and some in the morning.
That's it for this week. Happy Sketching till next time. Always happy to hear what you’re up to.
