Quick-sketching people in Barcelona...

In July, I was delighted to be part of the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Barcelona as a workshop instructor.  "Drink and Draw" (as well as "eat and draw") was the favorite evening activity--nice to be in company where it wasn't at all rude to stop talking, and just sketch your dinner companions!  I did just a few...

On my first jet-lagged night...

...and the next night at the local tapas bar...










...and during a spectacular late night vegetarian feast...











It was great to also take workshops from artists I really admire, Melanie Reim and Luis Ruiz.
During Melanie's workshop "Channeling Picasso", I sketched
what appeared about to be a police action on Las Ramblas...







...and people in the quieter Pla dels Angels as part of Luis Ruiz's workshop "Actors and Stage"...

Some quick sketching in the wonderful marketplace, La Boqueria...












....and a relaxed morning after the Symposium at the Parc del Laberint d'Horta, the Labyrinth Park, a lovely historical garden with an maze, palace and pavilions...
