Rabiscar o Porto: Drawing Session is an open-air art event led by artist Vasco Mota, designed to encourage participants to engage with Porto's urban landscape through observational drawing. The session provides a structured yet informal setting for individuals to practice sketching and visual interpretation, focusing on the details and atmosphere of the city's public spaces. It aims to foster a connection between participants and their surroundings by encouraging a slower, more deliberate way of seeing.
Attendees will spend time drawing within the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal, capturing elements of the gardens and views of the city. The session is suitable for various skill levels, from beginners to experienced artists, and emphasizes personal interpretation rather than technical mastery. The outdoor setting of the Crystal Palace Gardens offers a spacious environment with diverse natural and architectural subjects for drawing.
This event is free to attend, and walk-ins are welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring their own drawing materials. The Jardins do Palácio de Cristal are accessible via various public transport options; the nearest metro station is Carolina Michaelis, approximately a 15-minute walk, and several bus lines stop nearby. The gardens are generally accessible.
