Last Summer Sun

I'm posting my sketches late, as usual. Had to wait for the ink to dry ;)
It is raining outside but in my drawings you can still see people enjoying one of the last weekends of summer. It is always a pleasure sketching up people on the beach: first- because half naked bodies are a fun subject to sketch, and second- because beach is always a fun place to be at. Warm sun, warm sand and a warm chat with old and new friends. 
I set with some of Felix Scheinberger's students, chatting about their Israeli Experience, a chat I remember nothing of by now. But I do remember admiring their sketches and the way they draw my country. It's not that the hand of a German students holds the pen differently, it is how the eye of a German student captures what I take for granted in my homeland.

Charles Clore in good company

As Marina explained it very well in her last post, we've been lucky to sketch in good company last friday… I followed the "german team" in their last week end in Israel and enjoyed very much observing their enthusiasm and their talent !
From my side, I focused most of this time on portraiting…

Annika and Pey, German studients from Felix Scheinberger group

Annika and Pey (I loved her tee shirt !)

Sasha, Tatyana Pautov and Tatiana Papousheva, the russian delegation from Israel !


Our leaders ! Felix Scheinberger and Marina Grechanik !
It's been a long time I wanted to draw this horse called Ahouva. She is leaving in Yafo and I often see her following her owner, trotting after his bicycle to go to work in Charles Clore park…
While I was drawing the previous image, this boy, Mohamad, came to me and ask for his portrait…

… You understood that all the children had to get their own portrait after that!
Back to Charles Clore, I found my german friends again and kept on drawing with them ! 
The German team !

Saturday morning, back to work with a first drawing in the new train station
We walked through Tel Aviv and stoped in Rothschild Boulevard…

Jaffa in black and white

Lately I try to go back to simplicity, no color, just shadows, trying to catch an interesting scene or atmosphere or light… Here is a series I did in Jaffa at different moments of the day…

חוף צ'ארלס קלור / עלמה ביץ'

יש לי הסטוריה רישומית עם החוף הזה,
לפני כמה שנים עבדתי על איורים ורישומים עבור הספר של מסעדת מאנטה ריי, ממש כאן באותו חוף,
מאז פשוט התאהבתי בחוף הזה, חזרתי עוד המון פעמים, בעיקר לצלם,
יש כאן הכל, שילוב של ישראליות מורכבת על כל גווניה, מקומים, יהודים וערבים, עובדים זרים ותיירים, חוף ים ונוף רחב מהטיילת אל יפו העתיקה,
כחול של ים, צהוב של חול וירוק חזק של הדשא בפארק,

מעניין לחזור לכאן שוב ושוב, בכל פעם יש הפתעות חדשות.

Charles Clore beach - 39th sketchcrawl

A great day to draw with the always growing group of Urban sketchers Israel ! The place offers a lot of different views : the beach of course but also the promenade with funny characters passing by or the Alma coffee shop where you can draw and have a snack. It's a long time I wanted to draw this alley of buildings, so typical to Tel Aviv.

This funny couple attracted the attention of many sketchers from the group
