V Urban Sketchers Workshop in Ischia (Part II)

Sketches done during the workshop, when strolling around Castello Aragonese and Ischia Ponte.

Frankfurt x 2

Trying to be a it less lazy with scanning and uploading here: two sketches done in Frankfurt. The first one shows a pavillon of a korean garden inside the Grueneburgpark. The second sketch shows the so called I.G.-Farben Haus, built in the late 1920s, now housing a part of the University of Frankfurt.

Ruhpolding

Spent a few days in the bavarian alps in the small town of Ruhpolding. Arrived in a cold but greenish setup. Winter arrived one day later. It snowed for hours, turning the landscape into a winter wonderland... I gave it a try and sketched the chapell and church of St. Georg on top of a hill in the middle of the village. And also visited the "Heimatmuseum", sketching historic local items.

 

Limburg

End of November the regional USK groups of Rhein-Main and Cologne/Duesseldorf met half-way between Frankfurt and Cologne to sketch the old part of Limburg with its cathedral and lots of frame houses. So, no need for straight lines and right angles – very much appreciated!

 

Hamburg

I’ve spent a day in Hamburg, strolling around »Hafencity« with its newly built parts and restored historic old warehouses. One of them houses the Maritime Museum (Maritimes Museum), which is absolutely worth a visit.

The »Museum für Kunst und Handwerk« displays collections of Graphic Art, Poster, Photography and New Media, Design, Fashion, Musical Instruments and Ceramics. I’ve came for the »Christoph Niemann«-exhibition and had a glimpse look into the design section, where a visitor should, in any case, step into the psychedelic »Spiegel«-canteen by Werner Panton from the 1960s ...
