Urban Sketching Symposium Paraty 2014 – Day Two – Full Day

Thursday was the first full day of the Urban Sketching Symposium, and it was quite full! The workshops were the first to start, 12 in all.

Lynne Chapman’s Afraid of Color? workshop

Fred Lynch’s Capturing Intangibles workshop

Kalina Wilson taking João Catarino’s Reflections First of All workshop

Stephanie Bower’s 180 Degrees workshop

Isis Chaulon taking Paul Heaston’s Wide Angle Perspectives and Little Blank Pages workshop

Soon after, the Activities began…

Ivonesyo Ramos leads his demonstration, Paraty Lamps

The Sketchwalks were the last to begin, as participants got a leisurely start to their sketching day.

Though everyone was engaged in different activities, all were there for the same purpose – to meet, sketch and share. There was plenty of that going on as well.
