Rocío Garín. Since she was very young, the Estepona artist Rocío Garín (1977) has enjoyed drawing and painting, a passion that led her to study at the School of Arts and Crafts in Algeciras and, later, at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Seville, where she graduated in 2001. She quickly began working as a restorer of some of the most significant monuments in Seville, as well as the facades of churches in the Andalusian capital.
Since her return to Estepona in 2002, she has been teaching drawing and painting, an activity that she combines with aspects of her artistic facet as a researcher, as an artist and as a teacher, and has developed different teaching methods.
In 2013 he published a 'Drawing and Painting Manual' which includes the main techniques and tools to be taken into account in the first year of student training.
