Day Three: Malaga

We head out to Malaga today. A few vists planned; first stop was to the old Moorish settlement Alcazaba de Malaga. I loved this venue. I have an affinity with Moorish architecture and its stylings, and here it was in complete abundance - WOW! Taking the advice from last nights tutorial, and the short discussion on composition, I walked around the settlement, choosing my favourite spots to work from. I took lots of pictures of the interiors:









But it was when I came round to draw that I really had a great time!




We then went on to the Contemporary Art Gallery and visited Picasso's old sherry bar:


We drank dry and sweet sherry, and found they had a very cool way of keeping your tab 
(in chalk on the bar top!)


Malaga's old town had some beautiful street scenes:




whilst being dotted with quirky installations...

I loved these olympians:


and this bench too - WOW!


After the gallery we had a short break in the rest garden outside the cathedral. I made the most of this space of moving figures and scribbled down a page of quick sketches, which I enjoyed.



Exciting tutorial - we are all producing some different and interesting work...I wonder what the remiander of the week will bring...?
