Already a month since Usk Manchester 2016- First day in Manchester, we arrived late and headed straight to the Curry Mile, unable to resist our craving for Indian food. Good thing we did that- we didn´t manage to return in the following days.
The next day we took the architectural city tour- though Phil asked us not too, i couldn´t resist a couple of scribbles.

Going through the sketchbooks of the past months and fondly remembering visiting Rüsselsheim. The town is known for the Opel factory, which dates back to 1862 and produced sewing machines and bicycles before switching to cars some years later.

A curious mix of subjects in my sketchbook lately.
The chicken were sketched at a poultry fair in Ellershausen. We went just to watch, mainly the day old chicks, but somehow we ended up with a car filled with chirping paper boxes. Apparently two Zwergwyandotten could not be left behind, and neither could some day old chicks.
Then i sketched some cars at PS Speicher in Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488296872604230599.post-64796045661603826062016-04-10T13:52:00.001+02:002016-04-10T13:52:23.341+02:00Robina

To sketch outside my comfort zone is something i like. So when i forgot my watercolour box last Saturday to meet with Urban Sketchers Rheinmain, it turned out to be a blessing. Sketching in ballpoint pen is something i used to do a lot more, and i enjoy these simple sketches.

Like every month, we met up with Urban Sketchers Rheinmain. In February, we gathered at Landesmuseum to draw exhibits. After the museum closed, we sketched a typical Darmstadt backyard wit 1950s architecture. Then we continued on to the Krone, a badly lit pub and finished our sketching day with some astonishisngly cheap beer..Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488296872604230599.post-33692196383388218982016-03-24T16:27:00.000+01:002016-03-24T16:27:04.221+01:00St. Stephan
On a rather warm Sunday in February, i rode my bike to a suburb of Mainz, Gonsenheim and stopped to sketch glimpses of the church towers. Usually one can barely see the church at all, because all the building have been constructed very close by. But that time, a garage had been demolished, thus offering new views.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488296872604230599.post-72210393490766480492016-03-20T22:13:00.000+01:002016-03-24T16:27:57.724+01:00MünchenUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488296872604230599.post-78941007776132428442016-01-07T18:28:00.004+01:002016-04-10T13:42:09.117+02:00Heidelberg
A day trip to Heidelberg to meet some local sketchers. We explored the Karzer, a prison for misbehaving university students, which existed till the beginning of the 19th century. During its last days, students actually wanted to be imprisoned there- mostly to paint their names, portraits and stories on the walls. Favorite quote:

The museum Senckenberg in Frankfurt am Main is one of the largest museum of natural history in Germany. Its popular with visitors, mainly because of its dinosaur fossil collection. It has been in existence for such a long time that it has become an attraction of its own: not for being sciency, but for displaying weird exhibits.

Matera is a city in southern Italy, in the province Basilicata. It is known as the subterranean city because of its structure of ancient cave dwellings which were inhabited since 7000 BC- and some of them were left only in the 1950s. The so-called "Sassi" make up the old city center and are famous as film sets.

The IV° Naples Urban Sketching Workshop took place on Ischia Island, in and around Castello Aragonese. The tourist season was mostly over by mid October and the setting was superb- picturesque, peaceful but not too smooth. The family owned castle was a treasure, with its own garden, labyrinthic paths and beautiful views.

I spent two days in Naples on my way to the IV° Naples Urban Sketching
Workshop (which actually took place in Ischia). Naples was incredibly
busy, and it felt quite different from the Italy i knew; i had never
been this far south. The narrow streets of Quartieri Spagnoli
(supposedly not the best neighbourhood) were much calmer than the city
center and were great to sketch. I had variousUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488296872604230599.post-28243941777845846102015-10-04T23:04:00.000+02:002015-10-04T23:04:06.305+02:00USk Treffen Darmstadt
This year i had to cancel my participation to the Symposium in Singapore due to work commitments.
I
had Simos Ischia Workshop to look forward to, but that´s October, and a
summer without some sort of big Sketching event taking
place-impossible. So Birgit and me got together and sarted planning our
own event.
