Alán Ramiro Manning

@seethelines

 

With 10 years experience working in the architecture profession and a lifetime obsession in sketching, Alán is your guide to awaken super sketching skills without needing technical know-how or natural talent. He has discovered an intuitive process to sketching from his breakthrough living in Barcelona, Spain. Mastering the ability to sketch was an inner calling, but fears of self doubt and bad habits made it very difficult to pursue. 

When push came to shove, no money left, Alán had no other choice but to take action to teach himself how to sketch in a fast, fluid, and fun way. Then, he hit the streets of Barcelona to sketch and sell postcards. That was the catalyst that led him to ‘SeeTheLines’. By creating an experience for people, in turn a connection and a memory to savor, sketching became a means to create, connect and serve. 

Whilst Alán is on tour filming courses and teaching workshops, you get to join him on the adventure here and now through this growing library of video courses shot on-location. You will see the lines and harness your own unique vision of creating a legacy of sketches.

It’s been an honor to meet some of the best sketchers in the world. James Richards is top class, like “The Godfather” of urban sketching, a leader, and mentor to me. 

Here's what students experience learning The SeeTheLines Method™

I really enjoyed this course by Seethelines! I would highly recommend anyone seeking to start or improve their travel/urban sketching, to take part in the course. Alán is not only shares expert knowledge of sketching and watercolour but also inspires to enjoy the whole process from start to finish. It was a great experience following and trying out the process for myself. I’m already a fan of his work but looking out for any more courses by Alán!

Great course breaking up the sketching process in proper phases. I am partial to organized approaches 😀 Main necessary knowledge for a great start imparted & good practical examples demonstrated. There’s everything here for a beginner & some good ideas for a more seasoned sketcher. 

Adina Schisler

Engineer | @adinaschisler

Wow, I really enjoyed this class! Alan breaks the material down into steps simple enough for a beginner, but there is plenty of content for an intermediate watercolorist as well. His tips on perspective were especially useful. The scene we painted was quite complex. It included plants and trees, buildings, water and boats. It was fun to paint and very informative. Thanks, Alan! I look forward to enrolling in more of your classes!
