OLIVA!
Illustrated travelogue
I've found a few books by Oliva. I haven't counted how many there are yet, but it doesn't seem like there are many. This is one of them.
In the illustrated guide of Oliva (Valencia) I propose a quiet and charming walk through some of the most memorable places of the town.
You will discover some of its urban, natural and cultural landscapes through delicate illustrations, made with artisanal drawing techniques such as ink and watercolor.
It is signed as Bernat Moreno and not as Marroiak.

Reviews
I love it. I've really enjoyed the experience of getting to know an artist like Marroiak a little. The course has been a true gift, with well-chosen, natural, and sincere words. I truly believe it's something we should all hear and read, especially when there are so many ways to create art and so few ways to distance ourselves from creativity, but we humans are soft. I think that's why we sometimes forget to enjoy it and become critical, blind. We forget that behind a work of art there's an artist, a moment, a child, feelings... and although we focus a lot on aesthetics, we must also be open to that, receptive to observing, learning, and enjoying. And well, I'm grateful, and remembering it again now... good morning! Goodbye! I'm off to draw with all my heart :D
Delighted with the quality and packaging for shipping, as well as the attention received via WhatsApp when I had any questions. I recommend it to give a nice detail or for oneself! Thank you very much and success (Source: Google)
I'm a huge fan of Marroiak; I really love his drawings and I think I own all his books. I'm passionate about drawing, and this masterclass has made me feel so much happier with my work. It's freed me from my heavy-handed pursuit of perfection and opened up new possibilities for my imagination. The price couldn't be lower. Thank you, Bernat. You've made me a new artist!
A great guide to Oliva.... and its customs. I bought it in the digital edition and it is very worthwhile.
