Last february we had the second Illustration and Painting Workshop here, in Mexico City.
I invited two visual artists Vena2 and Diana Quintero that gave very interesting lectures and practical lessons. After a long and intense weekend, where the theme was to focus on creating a collective thought and to develop this thought into reality, the magic happened.
The teachers
The object of the workshop was to open up our creative side, with a concept to stand on. It was very interesting to see how each different personality ends up merging with the whole group, creating an original and intelectual vibe that can only push you to surpass your creative limits.
Here are the members of the group:
Paco
Naiki
Pablo
Dany
Montse
Andrea
Poncho
Cynthia
Paola
Lian
Martin
Domineta
and myself.
On Friday, we started warming up and then we painted with acrylics. Some, had never painted before, and big surprises came out!
On Saturday, we had theoretical introduction to the working progress of Diana and Vena2, and then we did collage based on that method.
The catering was in chargo of Flor de Rio
Lunchbreak!

On Sunday we did live model drawing and we continued painting the mural we started during the first workshop.
