Road to Riga
Today, I’m flying off to the north of Europe. The final destination is Riga, in Latvia, where I’ll lead two sketching workshops with fellow sketcher Pedro Alves, in the Urban Sketching Winter School Riga 2019. But the journey starts further north, in Helsinki and Tallinn.
Light and shadow in Elvas
The small Museum of Sacred Art in Elvas is a meandering sequence of stairways, rooms and corridors – wrapped around the cathedral walls – leading to a couple of precious paintings by 16th century Spanish artist Luis de Morales. Urban Sketchers Raia made it the location for their 26th sketch meeting, seeking shelter from the stabbing cold and the stubborn rain.
