Altea, SPAIN [RESULTS]

Post by yvonnemp »

Escaping the heat, we decided to meet in the evening for a Ronda Nocturna.
This is the second time we join in a WWsketchcrawl, not so many of us this time, 8 sketchers but in the end 3 of us just sat around chatting and enjoying the cool after sunset.
Altea has such a picturesque old centre, that we only crawled about 100 meters, from our meeting point to the steps of the church. The town was filled with tourists and the atmosphere was very light and happy.

:thumbup: sketchcrawlers: Lydia, Julia, Yvonne, Alicia, Isabel

We started here at 21.00hrs and most of us started sketching right from our chair. The little fountain across from the terrace... the people around us... what was on the table... the alley in front...

...only to realize that our drawing by night needs a bit of practice... so we were happy to sketch and have a good time!
Then we moved to the steps of the church at the top of the Calle Mayor where a balloon artist was making great stuff. He enjoyed our company too and gave Alicia a balloon rose.

Oh it looks WONDERFUL. I drew some of those lamps when I was in Spain last time. I can't wait to come to Spain again. Thank you so much for all the photos because they really capture the atmosphere. I drew in a bar about a week ago & it is difficult without proper light, isn't it!You all did a great job. Your balloon artist is pretty jolly good, isn't he? I've never seen a rose like that before, made from balloons.

Well yes I'm in Australia. I once spent a summer in Denia and I think I used to go through Altea on the way to Alicante.
I'm planning another visit to Spain so if it turned out to be sketchcrawl time, then maybe I could come to Altea. What fun! Its' freezing here and bucketing with rain again. Hacia del sol de Espana.

Hola a todos!
Estupendos dibujos!
Al parecer disfrutasteis de un SketchCrawl bien fresquito, creo que el año que viene por estas fechas os copiaremos la idea y saldremos a dibujar cuando se esconda el sol, durante el dia sólo se puede combatir el calor saltando de terracita en terracita! :wink:

Saludos desde Barcelona!

Hola Barcelona!

¿Qué tal si para la próxima wwsketchcrawl reunimos fuerzas? Barcelona, Altea y el nuevo grupo en Valencia. Podríamos encontrarnos a mitad de camino... Suponiendo que será por octubre, seguro que hará una temperatura estupenda!

Vuestro grupo es enorme,no? Me encanta vuestro trabajo, se ve que disfrutéis un montón, qué bonitos dibujos! Gracias por vuestro comentario, nos ha hecho mucha ilusión!

Hasta pronto desde Altea!

:wave: hello everybody. Here you can see the last Altea sketchcrawler´s draws:
The first when we were drinking in Bar La Plaza, Ana came with a pencil but she didn´t use it!!! She is going to USA in ten days so she was very happy :D

Image

As Yvonne said 100 m forward I sat to draw Antonio the balloon artist, if you want to know more about him: http://www.globosaltea.com

Image

He attracted kids like flyes like honey does. So I draw on of them

A very interesting atmosphere by night. Try it

An excellent idea to do the meeting at night. It's been so hot.
The photos and the drawings show the party atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the time spent.
