It's hard for me to express my thoughts and feelings about the 2nd Urban Sketchers Symposium that took place in Lisbon on july 21 to 23. Words can hardly give an approximate idea of the experience. Drawing on such a marvelous place as Lisbon, learning from masters as
Frank Ching,
Melanie Reim,
Joao Catarino and many others, knowing new people, meeting for the first time people known on the web or meeting again old friends, made this days absolutely unforgettable.
Here are some of the drawings I made on those days, most on them on the workshops.

On the leftside the
Elevador de Santa Justa, my first drawing in Lisbon the day before the party started. On the rightside a drawing made at Largo de Saõ Paulo on the first workshop with
Filipe Leal de Faria and
Marc Taro Holmes.

Drawing made at Largo Luis de Camões on the workshop of
Nina Johansson and
José Louro.

This is Largo do Chiado drawn at the workshop by
Pedro Cabral and
Frank Ching.

A scene taken at Largo do Rossio on the workshop by
Melanie Reim and Ângela Luzia. This is the only workshop I was absolutely sure I didn't want to miss when I booked my schedule. I guess I'll work on Melanie's thoughts for months.

Rua da Bica, workshops called "Contrastes" (easy to guess) by
Asnee Tasna and
João Catarino.
Here are also some portraits of the fellow sketchers I met on those days.
