Çarşıda el işi şövale üzerinde çalışma

[By Behzad Bagheri in Isfahan, Iran] It’s usually hard to sketch or paint in bazaar specially
when you want to work on a haniwork easel. Many people want to see your work and judge
you. Usually they ask whether it’s a finished work or if you want to work on it
at home. One asked me “Are you an artist?” and immediately continued “it
seems that everyone can do these works”.

It does not bother you if you are aware that some of them
are also very skillful handicraft artists of the Isfahan city or at least onların
eyes are very familiar to the art. Sometimes their comments and suggestions are really helpful.

 But sometimes it disturbs attention. So that, I naturally search for a silent corner and Malek timche is one of the best locations with ideal wonderful views for me in
Çarşı.

I wanted to add that, also sometimes it’s very exciting for
me when children pay attention to me and the work, and I enjoy very much of
discussion with them. They usually have their individual points of view, and it’s
very interesting and useful. They sometimes like to work on my parça
or edit it. And I think my paper usually has this potential.

These sketches are from the summer experience.
