sketchcrawl in Mauritania

Two Mauritanian artist and two students answered my invitation, so we met in the afternoon and we sketched for a couple of hours. I believe that in the next sketchcrawl there'll be more of us. Beautiful day even if for Mauritanian standarts it was very cold! I had started in the morning on my own it was good to be with others.



Bechir Maloum, Sidi Yahya, Mouna and Mehdi.First time for all of them.

love this Isabel! i wish we could have just a bit of that Mauritania "cold" weather here. i just got back from our sketchcrawl in Seattle, not too cold by seattle standards but probably freezing by Mauritania standards!

it's great seeing you hold that pen and the photos of your friends too. i like how you turned your attention to them besides capturing the scene. beautiful sketches!
