Sketching the City: A Walking Sketchbook Tour
Detalles
Saturday, September 12 · 11:00 AM · Mexico City Historic Center
What if we explored Mexico City one sketch at a time?
Join us for a creative walking tour through the Alameda Central, Palacio de Bellas Artes and the surrounding streets of Mexico City's Historic Center.
We'll walk, stop, observe, and make quick sketches of whatever catches our attention: architecture, statues, fountains, people, plants, street scenes, details and little moments of everyday life.
The idea is to experience the city through drawing — one 5–10 minute sketch at a time. You don't need to create polished drawings; we're interested in capturing impressions, gestures and fleeting moments.
Think of it as a conversation between your sketchbook and the city.
### What to bring
Since we'll be walking and making quick sketches, I recommend bringing something light, practical and portable, such as:
- Pen or ballpoint pen
- Pencil or graphite
- Markers
- Colored pencils
- Your favorite sketchbook
Bring whatever you feel comfortable carrying around the city.
If you don't have materials or prefer to travel light, I can provide a basic materials kit for an additional $100 MXN. Please let me know in advance so I can prepare one for you.
### Who is this for?
Everyone!
You don't need to be an experienced artist or know how to draw. This meetup is about observation, experimentation and enjoying the city from a different perspective.
Whether you're a seasoned urban sketcher or someone who hasn't drawn in years, you're welcome.
### Meeting point
Venus Fountain, Alameda Central
We'll meet 5 minutes before the event starts at the Venus Fountain so we can begin together.
Please be punctual! We'll start walking at 11:00 AM and don't want anyone to miss the beginning of the route.
### Participation
$150 MXN
A materials kit is available for $100 MXN extra if needed.
### How to reserve your spot
To reserve your place, RSVP to the event here on Meetup first. Once you've confirmed your attendance, I'll send you the bank transfer details by private message.
Your spot will be confirmed once the participation fee has been received.
Come walk, look, draw, get a little lost in the details, and see Mexico City through your sketchbook. ✨
