Some of my sketches from BCN

As many said before: it was WONDERFUL and THANKS to all of you who made this event possible.

I hope that moleskine keeps its word and make the leporello watercolor sketchbook available next year - I liked it a lot! It shows the coherence between the exercises/sketches of this event and is very handy.

Here are my sketches from Veronica´s and Marc´s workshops (great both of them!!) I also attended a part of Shari´s but still have to put in practice her helpful comments.

The day before the symposium while my watercolor box was crashed ;) (38x56)

Greetings from Ourense/Spain

So many of you are traveling to Barcelona at the moment or have already arrived. But before leaving myself I wanted to say hello to you all and leave a quick introduction. My name is Isabell and I live in Ourense/Galicia in north western Spain. I contribute to the spanish USk-blog and I´m a member of the spanish admin group. I attended the symposium in Lisbon two years ago and have enjoyed sketching in company of like-minded people ever since. Besides teaching german at Vigo´s University I do some illustration work and have led creative workshops for some time. My favorite medium is watercolor and lately colour pencils. Last weekend many of us spanish and some portuguese sketchers, too, had the opportunity to "warm up" at the fifth "De vuelta con el cuaderno" dedicated to "sketchbooks and cinema".  This is part of my leporello from Huesca:

I also made some watercolors strolling through the city.

In BCN I´ll lend a hand in the bookbinding workshop by Choni Naudín . I say workshop because all of you who have registered for the "demo" will be busy sewing your own sketchbooks. At the moment we´re finishing preparations to make the whole process of a coptic binding fit in a 1.5h frame. =)

I´m so excited to meet you all in person in BCN, sketch and talk and learn a lot!
A warm hug from Ourense!
