LIVE STREAM – Watercolor exhibition / Exposição de aguarelas
Next saturday, April 18th, at 5pm (GMT+1), I will open my watercolor and sketchbook exhibition, live streaming from my home, on Instagram.
Chinese opera
These violent opera gouaches, by Wang Yishi’s, date from 1989 and comes from the Kwok On collection. Chinese opera is laden with simbolism, archetypal characters and it’s in the crossroads of several forms of art.
Brave new watercolor world
When coloring my sketches, watercolors are my weapon of choice. Ever since a notorious sketching trip to Istanbul, I adopted watercolor as a portable and practical tool, that would quickly turn my usual black and white sketches into lively eye-candy onsite reportages.
Lisboa in the turn of the century
Lisboa City Hall is promoting an activity amongst the Portuguese Urban Sketchers community that focuses on a list of 19th to 20th century threatened buildings. The aim is to attract attention to these buildings, alerting the civil society about the dangers of letting these gems perish.
The return of the prodigal sun
Nearly a hundred sketches, done by over fifty authors, revisiting the original hundred locations depicted by Alfredo Roque Gameiro settled in his native town to pay him homage.
