Sketching in Bangkok

Thai dance 

A great experience to draw in Thailand. There are innumerable thems to collect in the notebook; the temples, streets, canals, ... but especially the people.
Thais are willing to be drawn and grateful to see themselves portrayed in my notebook. Buddhist monks, market vendors, subway passengers, ... but it was undoubtedly a group of dancers that I portrayed in Lumphini Park while they were preparing and waiting for their performance, with whom I most enjoyed this experience. Thai dance is closely linked to the danced theater. The scenic art is characterized by the grace and cadence of the movements, as well as by the expression, the hairstyles and make-up, the color and the beautiful clothes that the dancers wear. To achieve maximum expressiveness, in this dance the neck and body remain quite upright while slightly flexing the legs and forming beautiful figures with arms and hands.รำไทย The two major forms of Thai classical dance drama are khon and lakon nai. In the beginning, both were exclusively court entertainments and it was not until much later that a popular style of dance theater,likay, evolved as a diversion for common folk who had no access to royal performances
Una gran experiencia  dibujar en Tailandia. Son innumerables los temas que recogí en mi cuaderno; los templos, las calles, los canales, ... pero especialmente la gente.
Los tailandeses están generalmente dispuestos  y agradecidos de verse retratados. Monjes budistas, vendedores del mercado, pasajeros del metro, ... pero indudablemente fue un grupo de bailarines que retraté en Lumphini Park mientras se preparaban y esperaban su actuación, con quienes más disfruté de esta experiencia. La danza tailandesa está estrechamente vinculada al teatro bailado. El arte escénico se caracteriza por la gracia y la cadencia de los movimientos, así como por la expresión, los peinados y el maquillaje, el color y la hermosa ropa que visten los bailarines.

The  White cockatoo

My little model wanted to play with my work. I think he liked my drawing and even claimed part of his image rights.

Mi pequeño modelo, una Cacatúa Blanca,  quiso jugar con mi trabajo. Creo que le gustó mi dibujo e incluso reclamó parte de sus derechos de imagen.
