La Vuelta 2015 – Impressions from week 1
Hola! What a week it’s been for cyclists and fans alike! Stage 1 saw the team time-trial take place on 14 different road surfaces, an horrendous crash in Stage 2 – one of the biggest stars disqualified… the list goes on! Speaking personally, the gremlins have hit me somewhat this week… a few mechanicals, so to speak. Therefore, I’ve decided to publish the impressions I have made so far and wish you a very warm and happy weekend!
Here are my drawings:
Steep, hot climb, Stage 4
Cadiz, Stage 4
Coming into town, Stage 2
La Vuelta, Stage 2
Reaching for water, Stage 2
MTN Qhubeka, Stage 1
Saturday night by the palm trees, Stage 1
BMC, Stage 1
Lotto Jumbo, Stage 1
The setting sun, Puerto Banus, Stage 1
Passing through Cadiz, Stage 4

Thank you! I love the abstract elements of the subjects and love expression in the colours, just keep trying to capture them 😀

Love the patterns…lightness…bounce and spontaneity. Think we are somewhat similarly motivated. Have a good day.
