Tempat menginap baruBaruUrban sketching & watercolor workshop at Galería Secreta
Join me, a Cuban visual artist, for a unique art lesson in Mérida’s historic Barrio de Santiago, where you’ll learn how to sketch or paint using watercolor, charcoal, ink, or graphite. This fun and immersive art experience is a good fit for all skill levels and ages, including children.
• Tour my studio at Galería Secreta and hear about Merida’s architectural history, artistic traditions, and my personal creative process. I’ll give an overview of the materials we’ll be using.
• Explore Barrio de Santiago, taking in the grand colonial facades, architectural details, courtyards, and unique entryways. As we walk, you’ll choose a building or architectural element as inspiration for your art piece. I’ll share creative prompts to feed your process and inspire the art you’re about to make.
• Time to make your masterpiece! Back at the studio, choose your materials and medium and get to work sketching or watercoloring. I’ll help you throughout, sharing tips on technique, composition, shading, and blending.
You’ll leave with your handmade artwork, and a deeper understanding of the area’s architecture and history.
