Yesterday evening I went for a stroll at one of the gardens of the neighborhood, where did a quick drawing of one of its alleys (central sketch). Then I stopped at the duck’s lake, where, I though I was drawing the birds with black ink ( it was very dark ). After arriving home, I realized that the ducks and swans at the notebook were actually red! I like the composition, anyway!
It is becoming an habit: to use the blue bic on Saturdays! Although I must admit that is tough to draw with this kind of pen.
When I was at the University, at Porto, every architecture student used a bic (Álvaro Siza’s influence), but a black one, off course. I saw this new blue and found it pretty cool!
This one is dedicated to Isa, she knows why…
After the sketchcrawl, we always have lunch with our pens between the fork and the knife….
BIC drawing, 30 minutes, under the shadow of a tree, trying to protect myself from the heat! 
This afternoon, after many years, I got back to the old BIC, though this time with a new fancy color!
We were following the populous Easter procession at the former fisherman neighborhood of Cabanyal. There were a lot of disguised groups walking slowly , each one with their one music band at the back. Valencia is famous by their bands from all the villages that surround the main city .

My longest drawing : almost 5 hours (in three sessions) seated in the square and drawing this church!! In order to try another kind of drawings, I´m trying to make it slower. So I´ve been sketching with a friend that uses to make some fantastic, though prolonged drawings: no matter how slow I am, he will always be slower than me! So, at the same time I´m trying to spend more time with my drawings, he is hoping to get faster…
I must admit that after scanning it, I found some perspective mistakes! That is what I get for drawing all this complex geometry directly with a pen!
The church, designed by Padre Tosca, with clear influence of Vignola, is located at Plaza de San Vicente Ferrer, usually known as “Plaza de los Patos”.
