What I did during the great internet withdrawal, part II : sketching

[nassima]

So between the olive trees and the horses, I did sketch a bit nonetheless.

This is the one I did today.

These are so lovely, thank you for sharing them and for putting them in context too. :)

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked.

I love writing the context too (hey, I'm a geographer!) so it's great to know you enjoyed. I'm always afraid I'm rambling :)

Thank you!

There's an area not so far from here where they also have those round stony cabins. You're right, northern Mediterranean (and even southern, in some areas of Maghreb) are so similar. I feel more at home when I'm looking at photos of Macedonia or Moroccan Rif than when I'm looking at Parisian landscapes.

Won't you come and sketch with us at sketching_daily? All kind of sketches accepted and I'm sure you'd enjoy being there.

Thank you so much!

It's an interesting experience to draw from memory and then go back to the real thing. You should try it! It's strange to see how the mind transforms shapes and remembers selective things. Also, when you first look at something knowing that you're going to draw it later it makes you look especially hard and it's a nice feeling.

I think that some of these houses are lower inside! But it might also depend on how people transformed the floors too, such as adding insulation.
