Come find your inspiration and enjoy sketching at Casa Vicens!
Have you heard of ‘sketching’? The term ‘urban sketching’ refers to a global artistic trend with a common theme: to enjoy the moment through spontaneous and impromptu drawing and painting.
With this visit we invite you to discover Casa Vicens while you connect with your creative potential, observing the multiple details housed by this building and drawing some elements of the house following the instructor’s advice. We’re not going to lie: in the first few minutes there is usually resistance from within; it is not easy to release our hands and observe our surroundings creatively. The good news is that you will quickly awaken your creativity, lose that fear of blank paper and never want to stop drawing.
Daniel Pagans @drawingbarcelona will be in charge of guiding this creative workshop, which will be held at four iconic points in Casa Vicens. And at the end of the workshop you will be able to tour this UNESCO World Heritage Site using our audio guide.
Who is this tour intended for?
This visit is open to everyone over 18 years old; you do not need any prior knowledge of drawing or watercolour.
Can I give this experience as a gift?
Yes, during the purchase process write the email of the person to whom you want to give this drawing visit.
He defines himself as an architectural enthusiast who has been drawing since he was a child and never stops drawing when he travels. He is a graphic design and urban sketching professional.
How long does this experience last?
The duration is about four hours (three hours of workshop and one hour for the audio-guided tour), from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., but you can linger during your Casa Vicens tour for as long as you like.
What does this visit include?
