Andalucia Sketchbook

Last week I went to Seville and Cadiz for a few days and thoroughly enjoyed wandering around admiring the buildings and especially the beautiful tiles that adorn them. On the Sunday I came across one of the processions of Semana Santa (Holy Week). Seeing soldiers on horseback, leading scores of people dressed in long white robes who carried large candles and crosses, was quite a surreal experience. I managed to quickly sketch some of the action, and also made a drawing of a rather more subdued scene in Cadiz.

  1. I love your sketches. They're very dreamlike and tell a great narrative. The detail and compositions are amazing.
