Artists supplies in Spain

I do not, by any stretch of the imagination, consider myself an artist. But I do like to sketch and dabble a little in charcoal (most of which ends up on me rather than the paper).

But I am having real difficulty finding good quality sketchpads in Spain. If anyone has any recommendations of where I can purchase said product please speak up now!

Satscenes : My First Ever

Its a little late but, as I am told often, these things are better late than never. It seems to be my life philosophy. Today was all about art appreciation. Not the kind you find in a stuffy Gallery, where self proclaimed critics attempt to persuade the tasteless masses that the blob of paint is actually a piece worth millions. No, I am speaking of art you will find anywhere – if only you take the time to open your eyes and really look.

There is a Graffiti artist who tours Torrevieja. You will find his works everywhere. I have never seen him and everyone I have spoken to has absolutely no idea who he is. But, on schedule, a piece of his work will suddenly appear. This particular piece is on the main street opposite Iceland. The photograph does not really do it justice – they are, well, beautiful. The detail is astonishing.
