Meeting of USk Germany in Hamburg | 30.08.–02.09.18

A tiny part of the »Deichtorhallen / Haus der Photographie«



An old Police-vessel, now towed at the historic harbour at »Hafencity«; sketched during a workshop of Joao Albergaria (entitled »The Intimacy of boats«).

Sketches from »Harrys Hamburger Hafenbasar«. This wild mixture of exotic wooden masks, little statues, stuffed animals and even some shrunken heads (maybe faked, maybe authentic) is located inside an historic floater crane.

The »Fleetschlösschen, as seen from the opposite side of the »Fleet«. 

A vintage car was also at hand – a Morris Minor 1000, parked next to »Hoheluftbrücke« Metrostation and »Isestraße«.

Not too big, but quite famous: the »Oberhafenkantine«, slightly inclined because of eroded ground

Bretagne

The neighbours’ house at Concarneau, Bretagne.

 
View to the other side of the street.


Tug boat sketch at the harbour of Concarneau.

Visit in Douarnenez, where I met the awesome Rolf Schroeter, who incidentally spent his familiy holidays not far away from our place. You can see his version of the historic tug boat »St Denys« on his blog (in fact, his sketch is way cooler than mine ;-)).


An abandoned house nearby.




One of the highest lighthouses in Europe: Phare d’Eckmühl. Well, at least that’s the top of it.


The Kergonan stone circle on the Île aux Moines.


Twists and turns in our »holiday garden« (Zen meditation, part I).


Zen meditation, part II.

 
The entrance to the »ville close« in Concarneau.


The »Hemerica« belongs to the »Musee de la Pêche«, which is situated in the ville close.

1st annual meeting of Urban Sketchers Germany

Just a little bit late – here are some of my sketches done during the »premiere«-meeting of Urban Sketchers Germany in Darmstadt. Two days in September 2015 (September 4-6), fantastically organised by Jenny, Birgit, Clara, Lena and Roman, with lots of demos, workshops, a Sketchcrawl on Sunday and a final exhibition at the end.


  

Sketchcrawl Palmengarten Frankfurt

Meeting with the »Rhein Main sketchers« – Birgit, Clara, Katja and others. A very cold, almost winterly day in March inside and outside the »Palmengarten« in Frankfurt.

Natural History Museum, Mainz

Saturday 22 of February I´ve spent some time with some fellow sketchers (among them Urban Sketchers Jenny Adam, Andreas Koeniger and Birgit Mueller) at the Natural History Museum in Mainz. Although a part of the museum was closed due to a rennovation, we‘ve had enough themes to draw – in a comfortable setting. I "reactivated" an old brush pen and dared to use a ballpen to go straight away.
