Barcelona

Barcelona- Five Routes for Sketching Travellers, is the first book in this new collection. The Urban Sketching Notepads. It introduces amateur and experienced sketchers to the present and past of an urban landscape that is a real treat for any sketcher. Each of the five chapters offers brief illustrative texts, drawings and maps. Plenty of blank pages allow full freedom of graphic expression to the artist. The first four chapters propose sketching tours around different areas of the city, from the Gothic area to the Example, with its Art Nouveau buildings, as well as the Barcelona of the Olympic Games and beyond. In each area small gardens, pretty hidden squares and unique architectural details are disclosed to the reader. The last section suggests three irresistible routes outside the city: the wild beauty of the Costa Brava beaches; deliciously artistic and cosy Sitges - just a few miles away from the big city - and the stunning capital of northern Catalonia, Girona, with its fresh patios and stepped streets. The book's format and highquality paper allows complete freedom of materials and the use of all its pages, Barcelona - Five Routes for Sketching Travellers includes five illustrations by Lapin. Jordi Carreras and Jordina Bartolomé are architects who majored from the prestigious ETSAB in Barcelona, passionate art lovers and Barcelona connoisseurs.
