Milan

01.06.18 03.09.18Travel, Urban Sketching

On my way to the Palladian Odyssey 2018 I made a stop in Milan. I have never been to Milan or Padua before, therefor I didn’t know in the beginning…

An Old Mill

11.05.18 13.08.18Urban Sketching

Driving through Lower Austria I discovered this old mill. It is so old that even the necessary mill stream doesn’t exist anymore. I couldn’t find out if everything war private…

The Gables Again

10.05.18 14.08.18Urban Sketching

Undeniable one of my favourite buildings. I sketched it already but in black and white. I changed the angle of view and decided to use colour. This will definitely not…

MUMOK and Faber-Castell

02.05.18 20.05.20Urban Sketching

This was an unusual meeting of the USK Vienna. Faber-Castell presented some of their products especially for urban sketcher. We could use them on location and – how nice of…

Nikolaigasse

30.04.18 26.06.19Urban Sketching

Nikolaigasse is an unspectacular blind alley in the city of Vienna. But it is a very popular among the photograph taking tourists as I found out when sketching there. It…

Palais Coburg

25.04.18 14.08.18Urban Sketching

The Palais Coburg has probably the most expensive view in Austria. Although planed by one of Queen Victoria’s uncle in 1840, it was only his son August Victor Louis of…

Jesuit Church

18.04.18 10.08.18Urban Sketching

Another sketch I did during my lunch breaks. The Jesuit Church is far more interesting inside with its illusionary frescos by Andrea Pozzo. In contrast to St. Michael’s Church this…

Jedenspeigen Castle

14.04.18 13.08.18Urban Sketching

World history was written here – well not exactly here, but a few steps from here. There the battle at Dürnkrut und Jedenspeigen took place on the 26th of August…

St. Michael’s Church

11.04.18 10.08.18Urban Sketching

Today I joined the USK Vienna for the first time. The weather was not god and the few who came, disappeared rather soon again. St. Michael’s is one of Vienna’s…

Historicism Makes Me Megalomaniac

06.04.18 14.08.18Urban Sketching

As the temperatures have risen at a level which allowed open air sketching without becoming frostbite I brought my new sketchbook Stilman & Birn Beta Series A4 to the Ringstraße.…

Sketching in Antarctica

03.03.18 21.08.18Urban Sketching

In my mind the cruise through the Arctic was rather calm apart from a turbulent crossing of the Barents Sea. That’s why I was convinced to come back with a…

Antarctica – Crossing The Polar Circle

02.03.18 03.09.18Travel

Over 10 years I wanted to go to Antarctica. This February I actually did it. I gained a lot of impressions and experiences and I lost a dream. Since my…

Do Not Change Plane At Frankfurt Airport

01.03.18 29.06.18Travel

I have never been to Frankfurt am Main. No, that is not true. I was very often in Frankfurt am Main but always on the airport never in the town.…

Antarctica Palette

04.02.18 04.03.19Colour, Tools and Materials, Urban Sketching

For many days I was experimenting like an alchemist to create the perfect mix of my ink for my trip to Antarctica. I still haven’t found it, but I was…

Ink Colour – Or The Absurde Secrets Of Amazon

22.01.18 04.03.19Ink, Tools and Materials, Urban Sketching

Two facts are deemed to be known. Not every product is available in every country. Amazon does not deliver every product to every country. Austrians can tell you a thing…
