“A Colorful Vacation in Spain” translates to “Un Vacacione Vistoso en España” in Spanish. Max started this self-portrait on a flight to Spain with his family. While on the plane, Max wanted to pass the time and started drawing with the pencils he brought with him. Max spent more time in Barcelona going to La Sagrada Familia and the Picasso Museum. After seeing those exhibits, Max was inspired by Picasso’s early sketching style and Gaudi’s mind-bending architecture. While riding a train from Barcelona to Madrid, Max started filling in parts around his self-portrait of women from magazines he got from the airplane. While staying with his family at an apartment in Madrid, he added color to the piece using the watercolor pencils he brought.
