Disegno dal vero: Taccuino Urbano

The course offers four itinerant meetings through some of Pordenone's most significant locations, with the aim of learning to observe and describe urban spaces through life drawing. Activities will take place directly on site, focusing on understanding the city's architectural forms, proportions, intuitive perspective, and visual rhythm, thus increasing confidence in life drawing and developing a personal and spontaneous style. The course will also offer the opportunity to experience and interpret the city through observation and drawing.

The approach will be immediate and light: just a notebook, a ballpoint pen, and the time needed to stop and observe.

A course suitable for all levels. The instructor introduces and supports beginners in their first steps, helps those who already have some skills consolidate and expand them, and offers targeted guidance and advice to those at an advanced level, tailoring the teaching to each individual's needs.

In case of rain, lessons will be rescheduled on a date to be determined.
