Continuous Line Urban Sketching
8-Night On-Location Epic Sketch Experience
Monday, February 24 - Tuesday, March 4, 2025
Experience Oaxaca Through Art: A Continuous Line Urban Sketching Journey with Meagan Burns
Join renowned artist and instructor Meagan Burns for a truly immersive and elevated sketching adventure in the heart of Oaxaca, a city that pulses with cultural richness and artistic soul. This workshop invites you to explore the vibrant streets, dynamic markets, and ancient landscapes through the lens of continuous line urban sketching—a unique approach that allows you to capture the essence of place with energy and fluidity.
Over the course of six unforgettable days, you’ll delve deep into Oaxaca’s kaleidoscope of colors, colonial architecture, and ancestral cuisine, as well as its renowned art scene. We’ll go beyond the surface, sketching where the heart of the city beats strongest—its bustling mercados and ancient ruins—connecting with the life and culture of the region.
Our journey includes four curated experiences that will inspire your creative process:
Throughout the workshop, you’ll experience Oaxaca’s world-famous cuisine, from mole crafted by local families to traditional handmade tortillas. These meals are more than just sustenance—they’re an integral part of the culture, a moment to bond with your fellow artists, and another opportunity to sketch as you savor each flavor.
This is not your typical art retreat. My workshops are designed for artists who seek to be in the heart of the action, where the energy of the streets fuels your creativity. We embrace the vibrancy of urban life and the beauty of imperfect lines, capturing the essence of a place rather than precise details.
If you’re ready to push your sketching skills, immerse yourself in one of the most culturally rich cities in the world, and be part of an unforgettable artistic experience, this is your invitation. Let's sketch the magic of Oaxaca together in 2025.

Our journey includes four curated experiences that will inspire your creative process:
- Create Your Own Colorful Sketchbook: On the very first day, we will craft handmade, colorful sketchbooks that you will use throughout the workshop. This personal, creative journal will become a unique souvenir of your time in Oaxaca, filled with your sketches and memories from the week.
- Explore Indigenous Traditions: Venture to a traditional country market with our bilingual guide, Luis, where the indigenous Zapotec culture comes alive. Capture the vivid colors and textures of artisans selling handmade goods, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of local life.
- Sketch the Ancient World: Discover the awe-inspiring ruins of Monte Albán, one of the most significant archaeological sites in Mexico. We’ll explore its rich history and sketch this ancient landscape, allowing the stories of the past to inspire your creative journey.
- Capture Oaxaca's Celebrations in Motion: Oaxaca is famous for its vibrant street celebrations, and we’ll witness the exuberant parades that fill the streets with music, color, and joy. You’ll get the chance to do continuous line reportage, capturing the lively energy of these processions in your sketchbook—an unforgettable and dynamic artistic experience.

Transportation
Oaxaca City (OAX) is normally reached after a connection via Mexico City, a major hub and easily accessible from almost every corner of the world. Upon your arrival at the OAX airport, there is a verified Collectivo stand where you purchase your shared van ride with a verified taxi driver. Our hotel is located less than 30 minutes from the airport, depending on traffic. You can choose a shared ride for approximately $105 pesos, or a private taxi for approximately $400 pesos, paid directly to the Collective stand. Both options are a very safe and economical way to travel to our hotel. Side note: if several planes arrive at approximately same time, only shared collectivos are available, unless you pre-arrange a private taxi with me beforehand.
If you prefer, we can arrange a price driver to pick you up at the airport and deliver you directly to the hotel for approximately $850 pesos.
Please keep me posted about your travel arrangements and send final details so I can be prepared to receive you. Don't forget travel insurance!

Oaxaca Weather
Dress in Layers! Oaxaca enjoys almost year-round ideal weather, although it does have a rainy season which begins around late June. Your smartphone weather app may say rain for the day, but generally speaking the rains move in around 4pm and are done by 6pm, so rain showers are brief. Dressing in layers is your best bet, having some rain gear and a back-up pair of shoes in slight chance we get caught in the rain.
Covid Safety
This workshop is designed to be mostly outside and many of Oaxaca's restaurants are in open air settings, although generally speaking much of life has always been lived in the streets in Mexico. Personal responsibility is necessary and current boosters are suggested; let's do what we can to ensure the group has a safe and enjoyable workshop experience.
If Covid protocols are required by Mexican Government and/or City Officials, we will abide and you must agree to abide.
