EDINBURGH SPANISH FILM FESTIVAL

Again, another Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival has passed 😊. It is a great opportunity to see new Spanish movies, meeting cinema lovers, discover short-films and even sometimes re-watch some films in a big screen (which it is always a beautiful experience).

This year I want to highlight the amazing illustrations from artist Pilar Garcia de Leaniz- which help to bring into life the poster, magazine and many other publications and marketing stuff for the festival.

Congratulations to the festival, not only for bringing Spanish cinema to Scotland; but also for the good choice of an artist who as she says on her web: Imperfection is my alter ego , I reflect those imperfections and capture the delicate beauty in it.

I also love Imperfection!!!

PAINTING THE LIGHT

I really enjoy this technique where you have to focus on painting the light. Such a  great effect with amazing result:

DISCOVERING JAPAN

Japan is a country which you never stop discovering; every corner in any big city, in a tiny garden or even in an immense green mountain makes you want to know more about the whole culture and their people. It is also a plus that Japan is such an easy country to travel around, everything works so well, and people are so nice and helpful!

I was really amazed by Japanese society and how they respect each other in public spaces, I would say that they think more as a group that we do in our western culture…

I cannot finish this post without talking about their amazing food, so fresh and tasty! Yummy!!

I love travel photography and Japan was the perfect spot for it, please enjoy some of the pictures I have taken during my travels 😊

MY NEW HOBBY

My new hobby is drawing 😊 I have been attending drawing techniques classes for more than a year now and I really enjoy it.
What I love the most is drawing people, faces, the human body- although I found drawing animals quite fascinating as well. I like trying different techniques and ways of expression the art of drawing but my favourite is using black or white.

I have decided to start sharing my drawings with the world (I guess I start feeling more confident with it jeje), so here I leave some examples. There will be more to come.
