Space Oddities Pushing Your Sketching Boundaries in Barcelona
Space Oddities Pushing Your Sketching Boundaries in Barcelona
Contact: isabel@pushingyoursketchingboundaries.com for information and a registration form.
From our centrally located base (the DHUB Museum) we will explore BCN’s Poblenou in detail with six different locations for the 3 day workshop and you would be experiencing them all, from 22@ area, la Rambla del Poblenou, the Mercat dels Encants, the AGBAR tower, Can Framis Museum and many more.
Visit map with all the locations
Join Urban Sketchers Isabel Carmona, Swasky and Lapin for 3 full days workshop that will get you to know Barcelona intimately and to develop your personal urban sketching techniques.
The workshop will be hosted at the DHUB Museum at the “El Clot-Josep Benet” Library where we will start and end each day and we will put up a developing exhibition of our the work created during each day in their gallery space.
Main Theme:
Architecture and space. How do we represent space? Drawing is a matter of believes, do you believe in perspective?
It will be fun but hard work, as you will be experimenting with perspective and spatial representation all the time, learning about different ways of drawing what you see from different viewpoints, some more traditional than others. There are multiple viewpoints in urban sketching.
There will be multiple opportunities to try out various sketching techniques without fear, and we will share the work we do and discuss our findings intensely.
Each of the instructors will explore different ways of representing space in urban sketching.
The wider view (Isabel)
On choosing views and scenes to draw and paint we will look at wide panoramas inside and outside and explore various ways of tackling these views from focusing and noticing the space between objects to fish eyes views, “Escher” style, or simply taking a line for a walk.
Isabel’s theme is panoramic views and we will have fun testing various methods of representing space: figure/ground, light/shade, layers/planes, noticing the space between objects.
We will use a mixture of quick sketches to represent what you see in different ways, synthesizing the view’s components and testing what works for you. We will explore what happens when we want to represent a wide perspective, 180 degrees around us and notice how suddenly things “fit” in the drawn space.
Techniques used will include pen, colour line and colour washes, the order you use them on also changes how you focus your sketch. Be prepared to experiment and don’t worry if you have not worked with perspective before or you have been daunted by it - this is where you can play with it and lose your fears.
Bending the floor (Swasky)
Space has been one of the main topics in history of representation in arts. Human being has always tried to represent reality. Along the art history we can find multiple ways of this “space oddities”. What I want to try is make attendees aware that probably most of them are as effective as the common and accepted conic perspective. These are paths already opened but I have not revisited, and I want to go through them again, recovering memories that we have buried deep in our mind. As I have written before space is a huge worry but most of the twentieth art movements answered already with plenty of solutions. We are going to experiment with the idea of how our sight works. Keeping this idea of space recreation in mind we will start to experiment it.
After my experience in Manchester USk Symposium, I have made some little changes in some exercises splitting up the process and I have emphasize the work we do with the idea of representing space through conventions.
All you can see! (Lapin)
Our way to represent the space since « Renacimiento » is conditioned to a maximum 30º viewing angle, which is very limited compared to what we are experiencing while sitting in a place, turning the head, and looking up and down. Thats how I started sketching some curvilinear perspective in a very intuitive way, exploring how to represent a scene as in a sphere or as in a cylinder.
But Im also used to fit the elements of a scene into the page, making some distortions, or adding the soundtracks of what Im hearing while sketching, from the people that are talking to me, to the ringing bells from the church behind, or music of a car passing by…
I have lived in Poblenou for 9 years, and witnessed some big changes during that time.
That’s why I would like to focus my workshop on documenting the big evolution of the district during the past years. Poblenou was called the spanish Manchester, and was the industrial area of Barcelona. Nowaday, most of the factories are crushed down and a few renovated, to build some modern buildings, houses, schools or foundations instead.
During the past years, I dedicate my spare time to sketch this transition.
Learning goals
- Pushing participants out of their comfort zone, at their own level. From beginners starting to sketch to more confident participants, we aim to teach you something new and push you outside your boundaries, helping you to experiment.
- Experiment with different perspective techniques within a live sketch situation, helping you find your own self expression.
- Making you confident to represent the surrounding space, however complex.
- Using and trying different approaches - line drawing with pens and pencils, colour in different media.

Your Secret Winter Drawing Spots Win a Copy of The Urban Sketcher!
Your Secret Winter Drawing Spots Win a Copy of The Urban Sketcher!
[By Marc Taro Holmes in Montreal, CA] Hey everyone! I wanted to point to an article of mine about winter sketching: Drawing Inside, Looking Out.
Its up on my publishers blog as of this morning - AND - theyre running a contest!
If youre a US citizen - all you have to do is post a comment on their blog and youll be entered to win a package of art supplies. (I dont know what - probably donated product samples) - as well as a copy of The Urban Sketcher. Which all of you have already I am sure, but will make an excellent gift to a friend, or donation to your local library.
The idea of the article is to collect your secret spots where you can stand inside, and draw looking out.
Like this view from the third story lobby at the Hotel Bonaventure, overlooking Place du Canda. (Link to Map). I found this spot by accident while attending a conference, and have been back to draw it a couple of times. They have another spot - a glassed in faux-Japanese garden - so you get two for one here. Plus the hotel bar if you are so inclined.
Or this fun one from the Montreal Science Center (Link to Map). You can stay as long as you like in the giant lobby without paying to get into the exhibition. Use their huge windows to sketch the old port in all directions, even sketch from the museum cafe.
This little church is hidden in a courtyard behind the Palais des Congrès de Montreal, seen from the ground floor lobby, facing Rue de la Gauchetière. (Link to Map). You can get there from the metro without even going outside :)
If we all post with our city and our favorite secret winter drawing spots everyone benefits :) They can even be used in warmer weather on a rainy day.
At the end of the month Ill summarize the list for everyone to use. Feel free to include a link to your own sketch if you like. Youll be helping out everyone as we hunt for good places to sketch this winter.

HOW TO CLEAR YOUR LOCAL DISK FULL
HOW TO CLEAR YOUR LOCAL DISK FULL
Umejaza filamu na nyimbo kibao katika diski yako, labda ni magemu pia. Tamthilia je? Inaweza ikawa moja ya vitu hivi au ni mambo mengine kibao yamejaa kwenye kompyuta yako kiasi ya kwamba inakuwa ni vigumu ata pa kujua mafaili makubwa ya kufuta ni yapi hasa.
Unaangalia kompyuta yako na inakuambia diski C yako inakaribia kujaa kabisa na hivyo unatakiwa ufute baadhi ya mafaili, ila ndio hivyo tena kutokana na jinsi yalivyomengi hufahamu mafaili yapi ni makubwa au yapo wapi hayo makubwa kutokana na wewe kuwa na mafolda mengi kwelikweli. Leo tunakutambulisha kwa programu moja ya bure kwa watumiaji wa kompyuta/laptop za Windows, inaitwa WinDirStat.
Ndio kuna njia zingine za kupunguza nafasi katika diski yako kama vile kutumia programu wa Windows ifahamikayo kama ‘Disk Cleaner’, ila hiyo haikuoneshi mafaili yako mwenyewe. Yenyewe inasaidia mafaili ya system ya kompyuta tuu.
Programu ya WinDirStat inakupa uwezo wa kufahamu mafaili gani ni makubwa na ni kwa ukubwa gani na pia inakupa uwezo wa kuyafuta kwenda kwenye ‘Recycle Bin’ au kuyafuta moja kwa moja kabisa bila kupitia Recycle Bin.
- Pia kwa kutumia rangi mbalimbali utaoneshwa mafaili muhimu ambayo si vizuri uyaguse
Unaweza kushusha WinDirStat bure kabisa hapa -> http://www.fosshub.com/WinDirStat.html
