What the workshop is
«El autorretrato. El arte de encontrarte en el dibujo» is an intensive drawing workshop that invites participants to explore their own image through direct observation and graphic experimentation, beyond conventional rules. According to Gaia, the goal is not so much technical perfection as understanding drawing as a living process of exploration, decision-making, and play—where questioning oneself becomes the main tool.
How the session is structured
Gaia’s self-portrait workshop is organised in three stages, with a pace adapted to the group:
- The start: dismantling the gaze, connecting with the mirror, and learning to simplify the general shapes of the face.
- The process: free experimentation with materials, lines, and paper to discover personal graphic resources.
- The encounter: developing a personal self-portrait and closing with a group sharing of the paths discovered.
The session takes place in the afternoon, from 16:30 to 20:00.
Who it’s for and what’s included
The workshop is open to all levels: no prior drawing experience is needed, just curiosity. All materials are included—paper, graphite pencils, erasers, and charcoal. Each participant takes home their self-portrait at the end.
Gaia is a school of drawing, painting, and restoration that has been training artists and professionals since 1993.
