Coffee Grinder – A Relict Of The Past

28.10.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Still life

Does anyone remember the times when we really had to work for our coffee? No, I have never used this coffee grinder. It is a piece of scenery in my…

A Hotel – Grey And Far Away

20.10.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Vienna

The last outdoor sketch for 2017. I don’t believe we will get a winter this year but it is definitively too cold to sketch outside. I bought me Faber Castell…

Even Ugly Buildings Are Worth Being Sketched

13.10.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Vienna

This branch of the ministry of agriculture does not belong to Vienna’s most beautiful buildings. But it is near my office and I sketched it during lunch break.

Autumn Coat – Or What I Really Need

09.10.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Autumn, Clothes, Still life

After sketching my autumn hat I found it a good idea to sketch my preferred autumn outfit including my duffle coat. Sketching the foreshortening of the boots was the most…

So Many Windows

29.09.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Historicism, Vienna

In fact I choose the house because it has so many windows. I wanted to practise sketching them. Unfortunately the buildings of Historicism have a lot of embellishments, too –…

Autumn Hat

17.09.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Autumn, Clothes, Still life

I was very courageous at this sketch. I only draw the measuring, everything else was done free. A big step for me.

Austria’s Answer To The House Of The Seven Gables

27.08.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Black-White

Obviously this house has only three gables. (Austria is a little bit smaller that the United States ;-).) It is a former factory, which has been closed for decades. I…

Plants Are Getting In My Way

27.08.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Black-White, Plant, Urban sketching

This is a homework for Liz Steel’s Sketching Now Foundations course. Obviously the assignment was to draw a part of a building covered by plants. I was amazed when I…

Viennese Doors

27.08.17 23.06.22Urban Sketching Art Nouveau, Door, Vienna

Another assignment for the Sketching Now Foundations course. This is the entrance of a beautiful Viennese art nouveau house, which was built in 1911 after the plans by August Fondi.…

Village Church

26.08.17 20.08.18Urban Sketching Black-White, Church, Lower Austria

On a sunny weekend I sketched a village church in Lower Austria from two different points of view and in different styles. It is a fortified church, which means the…

House With Garden But Without Shadow

12.08.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Black-White, House, Urban sketching

I was a little bit pressed for time and wanted to see how far I would come. I intended to add some shadow, but I couldn’t find my grey brush…

Urban Sketching For The First Time On Location

19.07.17 14.08.18Urban Sketching Church, Lighthouse, Urban sketching, Vienna

It was on a hot summer day during lunch time that I did my first real urban sketching. I picked one of the most impressing and oldest buildings in Vienna:…

The Valiant Little Tailor

07.06.17 14.08.18Tin Figure Fairy Tale

I bought this blank in Kulmbach in 2013 – unfortunately I forgot who the manufacturer was. Sometimes I am excited about a blank. After I painted it I still like…

Sketching – How it began

04.06.17 11.11.21Travel, Urban Sketching Urban sketching, Venice

Like so many other people I am the victim of a strange teaching method in a strange school system. After primary school I had two drawing lessons once a week.…
