4th International Urban Sketching Symposium in Barcelona!

Last week I was in Barcelona to attend the urban sketching symposium.

Over 150 urban sketchers from all over the world met to draw together, learn and have fun.  A number of workshops, demo's, social 'drink and draw' sessions and public 'sketchcrawls' were held over three days in various location around central Barcelona.

It was brilliant!  I loved it and Barcelona.  I learnt so much and met many friendly and talented people...and ate lots of delicious food.  It was intense, inspiring an fun.


Sketching and happy in Barcelona (Thanks for the photos Melody).


Here are some sketches I did before the symposium started....
