El Clasico


In this video, Betirri shows the creation process of ‘El Clasico’ from 'The Futbol Series'. Drawing from Renaissance Era styles, he gives the background a hint of light and depth. On the uniforms, he uses the 'chiaroscuro' technique to make this painting even more dramatic, which allows the juxtaposition of the players to depict a staple of Spanish football history.
El Clásico (English: The Classic, Catalan: El Clàssic), is the name given in football to a match between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. It is contested twice a year in the Spanish La Liga competition, and more often if the clubs meet in other competitions.
