Few days in Lisbon I Part 2

Here are the sketches I did this summer in Lisbon in my Leuchtturm1917 sketchbook dedicated to people…

I was staying in the area of Principe Real, near Bairro Alto, so there are of course a lot of drawings made in bars at night and in botanical garden during the day !

Happy hispter in a bar of Bairro Alto

Dinner at Time out market

Faces in a Bairro Alto bar

The chippest beers from Bairro Alto and the cakes from the day before but we felt like partying here all night long…

Principe Real Botanical garden 

Esplanada café in the Botanical garden, Principe Real 

The owner of this bar and his friends seemed to be set here for the 4 last decades

I am amazed by the quality of the hipster's haircuts in Lisbon… So much in control !

Few days in Lisbon I Part 1

After the Symposium of Urban sketchers in Porto, we went to spend 5 days in Lisbon with my husband. Full of the creative energy received previously, I kept on drawing Lisbon that I was discovering for the first time. Here also I divided my drawings into two different sketchbooks:  the moleskine for the colorful sketches… and the Leuchtturm1917 for the people. You will discover the second one in a next post.

First place you go when you arrive after 5 days of traveling ? The public laundry !

Second place you go ? To rent a motocycle and sketch while your husband is closing the deal !

Gracia neighborhood, The lady of the hill square : an amazing view on Lisbon

We staid between Bairro alto and Principe real. Very funny trendy bars to sketch at night…

… and more classy streets of Principe Real during the day !

Few sketches of LX Factory block, cool place to hang out !
