Sketch the Sagrada Familia with a local illustrator

The towering spires of La Sagrada Familia have inspired architects and artists for generations. Now, it's your turn to bring them to life on paper. In this guided sketching session, you’ll learn to observe, interpret, and sketch the basilica’s intricate details while enjoying a creative break from sightseeing. • We’ll gather at a scenic spot with the perfect view of La Sagrada Familia. I’ll introduce key architectural sketching techniques—covering composition, perspective, and shading—so you can approach your drawing with confidence. • With step-by-step guidance, you’ll outline the basilica’s iconic towers, facades, and intricate details. I’ll show you how to capture depth and structure, ensuring your sketch reflects Gaudí’s stunning vision. • Once the structure takes shape, I’ll help you enhance your drawing using fine black ink for definition. If you’d like, you can also add subtle color touches to help your artwork pop. • We’ll wrap up with a short sharing session, where you can showcase your sketch, ask questions, and receive personalized tips to refine your technique. You’ll leave with a hand-drawn postcard of Barcelona’s most famous landmark, a souvenir crafted by your own hands. As you focus on lines, shadows, and details, you’ll see the world through an artist’s eyes and hopefully develop a deeper appreciation for Gaudí’s masterpiece in the process.
