Nonetheless, my job is to seek out the best sketching spots, and with a little bit of extra legwork some ideal and well sheltered locations were found.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we started with some warm up sketching, to go through some of the essentials of drawing and colour &#8211; this was quickly followed by sketches of the lighthouse and the bay. And boats. For a beginner that may sound like a totally daunting prospect &#8211; but step by step we worked through the elements one at a time, pausing for tapas lunches and some local ros\u00e9 wine. It is a holiday &#8211; after all!<\/p>\n<p>Short sketching breaks are much more than a holiday. They offer you the chance to really immerse yourself in your surroundings, explore somewhere new, and notice things that normally may pass you by.<\/p>\n<p>The sketches created on this holiday are just lovely, and a great memento of a weekend with new friends.<\/p>\n<p>Collioure is such a fabulous location, <a href=\"https:\/\/amsketching.com\/event\/colours-of-the-mediterranean-2021\/\"><strong>Colours of the Mediterranean<\/strong><\/a> is already in the calendar for 2021 &#8211; at the slightly later, quieter cooler time of year, 17-20 September.
