The lovers, by Ana Luisa Benitez, in Agüimes
Last week we went to our neighbor town Agüimes. This little town is an open air art museum really. In every corner, square, in a narrow street you see beautiful sculptures. I want to share a few of them made by a Canarian sculpture artist, Ana Luisa Benitez. She has done wonderful sculptures all over the island, in fact, I have done sketches of a few of them in the past.

Sketching the chellist sculpture in Agüimes
After visiting the a few art studios and "History of Agüimes Museum" I set and decided to sketch by the cellist sculpture which magically plays a peaceful classical music concert. This is the 16th plate of the sketchbook, enjoy it! (see pic below)

I don't know if you use or had noticed on your friends posts "#tbt" hashtag in social networks. Initials of "Throw back thursday", meaning bring something old and share with your followers. This week I am bringing an early work from my first year of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts Academy, (Now they call University of Mimar Sinan) Istanbul, Turkey. It was my first drawing study from the nude sculpture. Enjoy it!
