Yesterday was one of those perfect days when the sun was shining in a blue sky with absolutely no humidity, and the temperature was in the high twenties. I decided to go down to Plaza Rodriguez Peña, a lovely square that’s quite near me but for some reason I don’t go to often. I took my sketching stuff with me as well as my Spanish binder, thinking I’d decide when I got there. It was so beautiful I did both!
First I did the sketch in the park part of the plaza, and then I moved over to in front of this lovely building called Palacio Sarmiento, which belongs to the Ministry of Education. I never get tired of all the gorgeous buildings in Buenos Aires! I sat in front of it and let it inspire me as I worked on my irregular verbs!
Sorry the photo of the sketch is a bit weird, but I’m nearly at the end of this sketch book and it won’t lie flat any more. I’ve been a bit lazy about sketching, so I’m happy I was finally able to produce something!
I really like your sketch Helen. It’s very evocative and makes me miss BA even more😭!
Thanks Ali!
Thanks Ali. We miss you too — I’m sure you’ll be here soon. I feel it in my bones!
I really love your watercolor sketches – you should do more!
Thanks — I would if I weren’t so lazy! I’m going to make more of an effort.
