Hello.
My name is Jorge Royan, and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my wife and children.
I
am an architect and photographer, and only by chance I got to sketch again
after 30 years. First working 20 years in my profession, moving blueprints and
worksheets from here to there but sketching little. After that, 10 years traveling and doing photo work (www.royan.com.ar).
But, as often happen, serendipity plays an important role in life. Last year family matters kept me from traveling and had to stay at home. At the same time, Alex Sahores, an RA USK member invited me to sketch in a cold afternoon, and there and then it was all back.

I
decided that instead of moving abroad with a camera I would spend the next year
learning (how not to ruin my drawings with) watercolors. I have never done
this, and it has been a ride!.
Some
members of USK were really helpful and answered many questions I had (still have a lot!!…) Thank you, Nina, Luis & Wil.
I
draw on Moleskines or 17x24 200g Canson paper depending on the situation. And when
I can’t draw in the streets (Buenos Aires is not a safe city nowadays) I compose
freely just for practise. I even put together a blog not long ago, where I try
to describe my progress (really, a catharsis)
I
am very happy I will meet all you guys there. Till then.
Hi Jorge. Great sketches - you're certainly not 'ruining' them these days, that's for sure! Looking forward to sharing Santo D. with you x

ReplyDeleteHola Jorge, lo de arruinar los dibujos con acuarela era broma, no?, :-))
ReplyDeleteQue pena que BAires no sea una ciudad segura estos días, hace 7 años tuve la oportunidad de visitarla y me pareció maravillosa, sobre todo para dibujarla.
Te tomo la palabra con lo de las traducciones, me vendrá de maravilla un frente motivado a apoyar a los demás con el idioma :) muchísimas gracias! Y... me encanta tu trabajo! Nos vemos en julio.
No, ni era -ni es- broma.
DeleteCada vez que abro las acuarelas entro en panico. Que va con que ?
Pero uno va aprendiendo :-)
