Are your resolutions to be more artistic or to exploit your creativity? You can’t miss this outdoor painting session in the trajinera! We tell you more about the watercolor workshop in Xochimilco.
This is a must, because painting while sailing on a trajinera through the canals of Xochimilco is without a doubt an experience that you have to live at least once in your life.
Set aside the date in your calendar, because you will be able to enjoy this experience only one day and it will be on January 24. The workshop will last approximately three hours and you will be able to use birds, water reflections, different aquatic plants and fragments of the landscape as inspiration.
The experience will be accompanied by other artists who can guide you to reinterpret everything you are observing and capture it on paper.
