Second sketch of the year

No dia a seguir ao primeiro, fiz o segundo desenho do ano no sketchbook. Desta vez estava na sala de reuniões e aproveitei um momento em que se discutiam assuntos não directamente relacionados com o meu trabalho. À esquerda, em baixo, colei o cartão do restaurante onde jantei nessa noite, e de que gostei bastante - como normalmente acontece, sempre que como nesta cidade. Apesar de tristonha no exterior (principalmente por causa do clima e dos edifícios escuros), Bruxelas tem interiores surpreendentemente apelativos e cada loja, cada restaurante, consegue ser único, original e acolhedor.

The day after the first one, I did the second sketch of the year. This time I was in the meeting room and I took profit of a moment when some issues were being discussed that didn't concern my work directly. On the left I glued a card from the restaurant where I had dinner that night. I liked it a lot, as often happens when it comes to eating in this city. Although it is a bit dull on the outside (mostly due to the weather and the dark coloured buildings), Brussels has amazing interiors and each shop, each restaurant is really unique, original and inviting.

  1. I love the way you journal and with a few strokes can make an entire picture (thought). Wish I could do that.

  3. Yes, it's a moleskin, but this one is not good for watercoulors, the paper surface is too glossy. I have another one o try out, but want to finish this one first (still a long way to go at my present sketching rate, though...)
