Life Drawing at La Madriguera

Some life drawing sketches from my art residency at La Madriguera. Missing that space everyday... ❤️‍🩹

Infinitas gracias a Paula Bonet por descubrirme la alquimia del grafito acuarelable, las pastillas Graf y el acrílico líquido; y a Clío por compartir esa energía maravillosa con nosotras. 

La Madriguera 🐀🐀🐀

Still processing what happened over the past couple of weeks at @tallerlamadriguera... This art residency has given me SO much more than I could ever imagine :.) I learnt a myriad of new techniques thanks to the generosity and guidance of the wonderful Paula Bonet, confirmed my eternal love for oil painting after 15 years since the last time I used it, discovered new authors, writers and painters, strolled around beautiful Barcelona and met the most amazing humans along the way! This experience has reignited a creative fire in me and I’m willing to keep this flame burning. Manifesting to have my very own little painting studio at some point in the future 🔥🔥🔥

Millones de gracias de nuevo @paulabonet por toda tu generosidad, ganas y cariño; a @clioosfera por inspirarnos y dedicarnos su tiempo y energía y a mis compañeras ratonas @chinadelrio, @paulagcochon y @mave.artist por alimentar este fueguito creativo de la mañana a la noche en nuestra Madri. Estoy segura de que esta no será la última vez que nos veamos ❤️❤️❤️ 

Jane Goodall

 

Jane Goodwall has been such an inspirational figure in my life since I watched her documentaries as a little kid. She taught me to love and respect nature, the empathy we owe towards all creatures, the respect for our planet and our duty to protect it. Today is the first time I've cried over the passing of someone I didn't know in person. I think I felt like Jane was the hope this world desperately needs and I'm mourning the loss of that human compass. Jane once said: "the greatest danger to our future is apathy" and, now more than ever, I would like to ask you: what are the actions (as big or tiny as they might be) in your daily life that move away from that apathy towards our future? This is not a question to stress you out or put further pressure on you for all the things we are all supposed to be doing but, on the contrary, a question to value what you are already doing for nature. Please, let's spread some hope in the comments to honor Jane's memory 💙

Some rough sketches from last month's life drawing session modelled by the wonderful Bianca and Frankie and hosted by the always amazing Draw Brighton! 🌚🌝

PS: I may or may not be obsessed lately with acrylic brush markers...
