(You can tell from the title that this post should be called
“Miscellaneous,” but I refuse to call it that.) One rainy day in Rio, Joni, a
Montreal sketcher, met Greg and me for a day of indoor activities, including an
excellent Dalí exhibit at the Cultural Banco do Brasil, lunch at a funky café, and a little sketching
near the Theatro Municipal (the sketch I did there is in Brazil, Part 2). We had heard that Liz Steel and several other sketchers had discovered the Confeiteria Colombo, a grand tea shop
that has been in Rio since 1894, so we wanted to see it, too. In the Liz
tradition, Joni and I sketched our tea and treats as we consumed them. (I don’t
know how sketchers can resist eating long enough to sketch their meals! I had
to draw most of my cake from imagination.)

Before flying home, we had several hours to kill after checking
out of our hotel but before heading for the airport, so Greg and I killed them
by walking around the neighborhood. I spotted a couple of statues to sketch –
just a few of the many ornate figures all over Rio.
No urban sketcher’s travel sketchbook is complete without
sketches from long airport layovers, so I’ll end my last Brazil post with a few
of those. Thanks for reading along with me on this lengthier-than-expected
travelogue!
(But wait – there’s more! I still have several blog post ideas
that aren’t specifically about Brazil but are related to travel sketching,
including the infamous bag issue update,
so it’s not the end!)

Great wrap-up of your trip and lovely sketches from the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI will see if I can upload something as I travel, but it will be iffy. I'm not bringing a computer and don't have an iPad so I need to upload from a memory card. I'll see what I can do. Ciao!
