A beautiful mornining in bazaar

We started at the beginning hours of this Monday's morning from  gheysarieh entrance of the grand bazaar and started to discover again the new aspects of the wonderful bazaar.

At the entrance there are many beautiful views of the Naqshe Jahan square and also from other  entrances of bazaar. 

We sat there for approximately 2 hours and started to sketch form the around views and also many wonderful oldmen models. Oldmen figures have been always exciting subjects  for me.

After that we entered bazaar. At first we went to Timche-Malek again (a historical serai with it's eye-chatching  roof ) and did some sketches.

                                       Here is a painting from some months ago of this place.

         And finally we went to Seraie-No. Really wonderful entrance with historical aspects.

After sketching, we had an small exhibition of our works on the ground. And it was a good way for discussion about our points of views and the ways for catching the essence of the atmosphere.

آری یکی از همین روزها می آیی
آن قدر بی مقدمه
آن قدر با شتاب

به جذبه هایت خواهم آمیخت
غرق خواهم شد
خواهم رفت

Isfahan Bazaar

This monday I and some other sketch friends went to bazaar. It was a wonderful experience with some talented people that I can learn alot from their works and also behaviors.
At the begining I had a little time to sit at the north side of the square (we say "meidan" in Farsi) near the main entrance of bazaar that called Qeisarieh  and sketch panoramic view of "Naghshe Jahan square" .



 

Then we entered bazaar. There are different kinds of "caravan-serai", "serai" and "timcheh" in relation with bazaar. They have different definitions and their definitions needs more surveys and discusses about.
But I must say that "Caravan-serai" is larger in size and has more functions in comparision to others. Also "Timcheh" has a roof that covers it's yard. You can find two pictures of Iranian caravan-series here and here.
We went to serai-e-Mokhles and timcheh-Malek. I have used my pastels for these sketches. Wish you enjoy them.

Autumn is comming

Autumn is comming and there are many beautiful aspects here in public gardens in Isfahan specially around the river. River has been dried, but it cannot reduce from its greatness and beauties.

چه دلنشین هنگامی که انتظار ریزش برگهای پاییزی را داری

و ناگاه

 گلی زیبا از میان شکوفه  اش سر بیرون زده 

و

به تو سلام می کند
