Highlights
  • Jardi Botanic Historic - Join me on a drawing and illustration workshop in the most beautiful hidden gardens of Barcelona, in Montjuic hill. I will show you some very unique and quiet areas, some with spectacular views over Barcelona. We will stop in each garden to draw plants and nature, I’ll teach you my techniques and show my sketchbooks, and will talk about plants and history of Montjuic.

It will be easy and fun, even for beginners!

It will start with coffee and herbal tea in the Historic Botanical Gardens. They are located in two former quarries and host the tallest trees of Barcelona. We will draw there and then head to other gardens around, like the beautiful Laribal gardens.(The itinerary might slightly change depending on the season)

What's Included
  • Sketchbook, pencils, markers
  • Tea and coffee
Additional Information

Participate in a sketching and drawing class hosted within the stunning gardens scattered across Montjuic hill in Barcelona, offering breathtaking city panoramas.

We’ll tour various gardens, pausing in each to sketch the surrounding flora. No prior drawing skills are necessary! We will commence our journey at the Historic Botanical Garden, home to Barcelona’s loftiest trees. From there, we’ll either visit Joan Maragall gardens or Laribal gardens, the choice depends on the season.

Under the guidance of local illustrator Caroline Selmes, you’ll acquire new artistic techniques while learning about the history of Montjuic.

It’s an ideal opportunity to discover a lesser-known part of the city at a relaxed pace, appreciate nature, and express your creativity. Montjuic is notably a more temperate locale during summer.

We’ll provide everything you need: a warm cup of tea or coffee to start the day, drawing supplies (pencils, poscas pens), and a sketchbook you can keep.

Please bring your own water bottle, sun protection, and wear comfortable footwear.

What a lovely time - Caroline was such a lovely guide. Me and my friend weren't sure about the level of the class, but she tailored it to all of our needs and was kind and attentive throughout. Couldn't recommend more!
