From Isfahan Bazaar

 

These are some new aspects of Isfahan bazaar as I mentioned in previous post.

First, I sketched some new views in bazaar when I went to daroshafa mosque. The mosque was very beautiful and large in scale. It was the first time that I was seeing there. I could see some external view of bazaar there.

And then I sketched some views of Naqshe- Jahan square.

Two sketches of the mosques

 

 

  And AliQapu Palace

 
 
 

And then, some traditional markets.
I wish you enjoy them/ Regards

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. 

                                                   

                                                             Timche Malek/ Oil pastel

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.

I wish you enjoy. Regards

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.
