Bcn Usk Symposium Workshop Results by EclecticBox

Here you have most of the drawings I made during the Bcn Usk Symposium Workshops.
Thank you to all the instructors for transmitting their knowledge in such a clear way that everything seemed easy and oneself couldn't but inspiredly give it a go. I wish the Symposium had lasted a few more days as I'm sure that all the other workshops were worth taking as the many drawings shared by the participants show, but nevertheless, I'm happy with the ones I took and here you have some results

Barcelona Usk Symposium Portraits by EclecticBox

I know much of the sharing activity is going on Facebook, but since I don't have a personal account over there I'll just share my drawings here.

It's been two weeks since Barcelona was already full of people from all over the globe committed to the Urban Sketching. It's been great to meet you and a pleasure to have you in our town. Hopefully we'll meet again... maybe on the next Usk Symposium (wherever is going to be held) maybe somewhere else?. Although being on the Local Organisation Team, I had the chance to participate on some workshops (I will soon post the results here too) and to eventually do some portraits, so here you have them... hope you like them!

By the way, the first ones were made just before the Symposium started, the last ones right after it finished, can you tell the diference?!? ;)
