Watercolour Sketching - under the Spanish Winter Sun
2027-02-18 18:00 - 2027-02-21 18:00 | Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria, Puerto de Mogán, Spain
Join me for a long weekend sketching in and around the beautiful Port of Mogán located on the southerly side of Gran Canaria. This small port town is an old fishing neighbourhood which has become one of the most attractive places in the Canaries. The canals and bridges of its seawater inlet have earned it the nickname « Little Venice. » Along the marina, you’ll find an assortment of restaurants and bars, while the old town area is full of quaint, Mediterranean homes and cottages climbing up the hillside. As a bonus, the temperatures in February are usually around 20-23ºC – considerably warmer than many other countries further north, including the south of France!
In these 3 days Friday to Sunday we will have great fun sketching the architecture, the boats and the impressive panoramas and features of this island forged by volcanoes. We’ll explore use of colour and composition to capture the vibrant and dramatic vistas, plus some alternative techniques when sketching in and around the market and the port. Before moving to France I lived and worked in the Canary Islands, so I’d love to share with you some special places to enjoy local cuisine and culture too!
This special weekend of colour and creativity begins on Thursday evening with an optional evening drink to meet the group and talk about plans for the coming days.
From Friday through to Sunday afternoon we will be sketching throughout the day and there will be a short break for lunch. The group may wish to eat together in the evening but that is not part of the workshop and you are free to make your own arrangements.
Where to stay
There are numerous hotels and apartments in the area of Puerto de Mogán. AirBnB has a good selection of reasonably priced apartments but booking before the Christmas period is generally advised.
Getting to Mogán
You can fly into Gran Canaria airport (Las Palmas) with many low cost airlines including Ryanair and Vueling.
Las Palmas airport is approximately 50 minutes from Puerto de Mogán by bus or car. You can take a local bus but there is also a regular shuttle transfer bus that you can can prebook in advance for added peace of mind.
What to bring:
Watercolour sketchbook, basic watercolour travel set, watercolour brush, HB/B/2B pencil, watercolour pencils, eraser, sharpener, portable sketching stool. A detailed materials list will be sent with booking confirmation or by request. Simply emailme@annettemorris.art for full details.

I attended a Paris weekend earlier this year with Annette Morris Art. It was fantastic, we really explored Paris and captured lots of memories in our sketching. Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience on the sketching weekend in Paris with Annette Morris. Annette led a well thought out and interesting course. I had not sketched in a long time and was a relative beginner, but I grew and was challenged in a good way during this weekend. The group size was perfect and Annette helped create a cohesive group spirit and a supportive atmosphere. This sketching weekend was a marvelous way to see a city with fresh eyes! Meeting lovely people with the same interests in art was an added bonus.

I attended a Paris weekend in April 2022. Annette put so much work into ensuring we had some wonderful and unique views of Paris to sketch, plus the usual sites. If you think you know Paris, then look again with Annette. We created lovely memories.

Just enjoyed an energetic weekend in Paris sketching with Annette Morris Art . We covered many of the best known landmarks, and managed very brief, longer, and full-length sketching sessions. It was wonderful to concentrate on drawing, without having to think about route-finding, where to eat, and locations for coffee and recuperation, because Annette had that all planned. it was fun to work with like-minded people, and as usual, we all looked at the same thing but saw something completely different. I have ended up with some memorable sketches in themselves, some sketch material to develop, and enough photographs to take me through the winter! I genuinely recommend any session Annette runs as manager: I look forward to another one myself.

Just home after an amazing sketching trip to Paris with Annette and a fabulous group. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough! It was a brilliant experience seeing Paris as a sketcher. Lots of opportunities for quick sketches, photographs, interspersed with sightseeing whilst walking and bus trips but plenty of stops for refreshments at some fantastic cafés and restaurants. Annette made the weekend such a special experience with attention to detail, making sure we had a memorable trip seeing lots of what Paris has to offer and have many lovely memories – and sketches- of a great weekend. Looking forward to adding to my sketchbook now that I’m home. Thank you so much Annette ‍

Each of the charming locations gives you the chance to experience a real taste of Catalonia in the south of France. It will be a wonderful few days to relax and immerse yourself in drawing and painting with a small group of like-minded people.
This creative break is suitable for anyone new to urban sketching or artists with some experience but looking for a looser watercolour style.
