Teatro Alameda
Pen&ink and Lyra opaque watercolor on Moleskine watercolor sketchbook 5 ½ in x 3 ½ in.
This theater is located next to Alameda Juan Sarabia Park in downtown San Luis Potosí, it was built in 1941. I wanted to sketch it because I always liked it. However, I often thought it’s architectural style was different, so I did some research and found out that its style is Colonial Californiano, as many houses which were built in this style in wealthy neighborhoods in Mexico City back then. This theater has multiple uses, it’s now a movie theater but it’s also used as a venue for exhibits and concerts. I sketched it in the smallest of the Moleskine sketchbooks and I liked how many details I fit in this image, it took me some effort but I’m glad I did.

Fried fish with Lyra opaque watercolors.
Pen&ink and watercolor on pocket Moleskine watercolor sketchbook |
A big boned fried fish was served to dad. It barely fit in the plate over a bed of fresh dill. Before he dig into the fish, I turned around the dish to face me to take a shot. It was breaded. At home this fish met my Lyra opaque watercolor. It‘s a plastic watercolor palette, perhaps vintage, since I haven’t seen one like this before, that was given to me by my siblings, I think it belonged to my mother in law, so slim it fits everywhere, that’s why brought it with me to Mexico. I think the fish looks crunchy, can you hear? It was indeed.

My dad’s feet.
I’m truly enjoying my time with my dad in Mexico, watching TV, his feet rest on the bed on the bedsheets that are soooo old but somehow the are in good shape. His white, slim and bony feet were always so beautiful, I had to sketch them. His blue jeans, a favorite of his, he can wear for up to a week and look like fresh clean, it amazes me. Happy time, cheers.
