We took the metro to go to Placa d’Espanya. When we got out of the underground station, we were surprised by the sight of (what was left of) the old Arena, which is was an old bullring. From what I read, the Arena is being converted into an entertainment complex/shopping center and will be called Plaza Arena. At this moment, nothing but the shell/facade of the building is left. Heavy new (temporary) structures under the facade are keeping it standing.
We continued walking in the direction of MNAC (Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya) with a short detour to the Pavilion of Mies van der Rohe. The MNAC building/palace is located on top of the hill. It was quite a trip to get up there. Once we reached the top, we could see BCN from the other side of the city. We went up there actually only for the view, not for the museum.
Then we were off to the Fundacio Joan Miro and to see the rest of Montjuic. It was unfortunate that the whole line of the teleferic cable car to the Castell de Montjuic was being repaired (or completely renewed). We could have walked uphill to the castle, but at that point we were only willing to go downhill. My legs were just about to give up…
Evy, this is so beautiful — it may be my favorite so far! Do you do the watercolor on site, or do you just draw and then do the watercolor later on? I LOVE the red roof against the sky!!
Love this! Every visit to your blog is a treat!
Evy, I love these latest drawings. Your color and linework is wonderful. Like Nita says, every visit to your blog is a treat.
Nice work. I love this piece. Good color.
Thanks Linda, Nita, Amanda, and Ty!
Linda, I applied water color on almost all of my holiday sketches later on: at our BCN apartment, in the airport, on the plane. Some of the very small ones, I colored on the spot, e.g. some sketches of architectural details.
