Portugal travel Sketches

Hi there! Here are some pages of my Portugal Travel Watercolor sketchbook

So our travel took place in my travel sketchbook as well. In order not to miss the feelings of a place and get it inside fully you have to sketch it right away.
So when we arrived in Porto, I sketched it right in the airport:

Morning coffee and the market

Wine, resto, Torre dos Clerigos

Postcards on the Duro Embankment, old shoemaker sells the boots

The locals and Sé Cathedral.

And, before leaving, I drew our hotel room.

Aveiro

LISBON
with its tramway

Ice cream on our street in Alfama

Poet Antonio Feliciano da Castilho

...and Poet Fernando Pessoa, that I love a lot

and so beautiful Sao Domengo church that was almost totally burnt in 1959 and still isn't recovered which is so captivating to see

But we had to go to Coimbra

Coimbra, the 1st University of Portugal and its first capital.

Here is Coimbra Sé Cathedrale

Cloister of the Sè Cathedral

Streets of the local students

We lived there, in the yellow little house up there:

(and I'll add some more one day)

Pages from my travel sketchbook

Sometimes I throw my carnet de voyage in my bag and I'm very grateful to myself then, because it gives me few minutes of painting-drawing pleasure

Little picture with a cat that lives in the hotel in Avignon,

he was sleeping during our breakfast

Artisan bread with a coffee from the Ch'ti-region

(Nord-Pas-de-Calais)

Place Wilson in Toulouse, a monument to the poet Pierre Goudouli.

Toulouse, Eglise du Gesù that I drew 10 minutes on the Allées Jules Guesde

The Jacobins, the biggest church of the Domenicans where you can take a look on the sepulture of Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Paris, Henri IV and Me

Rue Saint-Honoré, Rue de L’Arbre Sec and Rue Croix de Petits Champs – there I’ve celebrated my birthday, even without a clear planning.

J’adore Charles De Gaulles and I always shout "SALUT" when I’m here again, and I love to walk there slowly and contemplate the people and buy a RER ticket and then to go TO Paris, very attentive and careful to any small moment.

Maurizio already waited for me at the Rue Saint-Honoré where we stayed for some days. Here is the Rue Saint-Honoré by Pissarro:

There is a million of stories: Jeanne d'Arc has been wounded here during her attack on Paris, here Ravaillac killed Henry IV by dagger, here Robespierre was captures and invited to the guillotine, and so ME, I’m here, with delight and two cache-nez because it's so cold here, and with mon ami Maurizio,and we’re living here, at Rue Croix de Petits Champs, and walking and dancing. What else while you're HERE.

You know who Henri IV is? He’s ERRICO! That's his Spanish name -- and it's mine too.

Parigi vale bene una messa - says Mauri. I correct him: “Paris vaux bien une messe” and we stroll there, to my very dear piccolo viccoli: Bucherie, Chat qui pêche and Huchette, and then we’re on Gospel concert, and it’s endless, it’s always, just here.

And so hungry after, we are in Grand Bistrot at the Rue Saint-Séverin in
Latin Quarter

Sooooo Delicious!
