Volume 3 invites you to discover the art of capturing the soul of ancient urban spaces. We journey to the enchanting Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, where streets and buildings have withstood the test of time, rich with history and beauty. This course is a visual exploration that will teach you to render irregular surfaces and master the representation of urban landscapes whose architecture is marked by centuries of transformation.

We will focus on two key locations:

A 15th-century street, where the leaning buildings and crooked sidewalks invite you to explore the textures of their weathered walls. Here, you’ll learn to bring to life the stones and facades that have witnessed countless stories.
A typical Barcelona alley, filled with wrought-iron balconies and ancient windows, where the course emphasizes the projection of light through the windows and how this light caresses and shapes the aged surfaces. We will take advantage of the color of luxurious paper to add depth and nuances, highlighting those unique tones that only centuries can create.

This course is special because it teaches you to draw without relying on traditional grids, developing an intuitive technique that will enable you to capture any complex and detail-rich scene in an artistic and fluid manner. Here, the paper is not just a surface but an active tool for representing the key elements of the drawing.

The sketches we create are not merely preliminary; they are an essential part of the creative process, helping to build a rich and expressive visual narrative. Through graphite, white pastels, and luxurious paper, each stroke will be infused with a new way of seeing urban landscapes.

Why is this course special?

This course is a tribute to spaces that tell stories. You will learn to capture the unique character of ancient neighborhoods, where every cracked wall and every shadow cast by the windows has its own tale to tell. We will teach you to feel the weight of time in your drawings, using techniques from the great masters of drawing but adapted to a more intuitive and personal approach. Here, you won’t just draw; you will connect with the past of the places you represent.
