Sketchhouse in the Alps with Maru Godàs

June 2026 · Landhaus Axenfels, Morschach

Five days of sketching and painting above Lake Uri. Sketchhouse in the Alps brought a small group together at Landhaus Axenfels in Morschach, with Barcelona-based illustrator Maru Godàs as our guide.

Under Maru's guidance, participants explored gouache, acrylic, Neocolor and mixed media: in the studio, on a mountain hike and on a boat trip across the lake. Each participant also worked on a personal project through the week, and the retreat closed with a group exhibition of everything created together.
