#urbansketching — Public Fediverse posts

Ich war heute wieder mit den Dibujantes zum #UrbanSketching unterwegs. Das Wetter war herrlich, auch wenn es für Oktober viel zu sommerlich ist. Heute mal wieder am Strand...

Et c'est parti pour une journée de #sketchingurbain #urbansketching dans Paris avec une amie ! Oui, aucun, ça fait un peu prétentieux dit comme ça : on va juste dessiner ensemble en plein air ! En plus, j'ai même pas d'Insta pour générer de l'engagement, donc on va pas trop faire monter la mayo de la hype ! 😆

Here's the last page of my small hand-sized accordion book #urbansketching at big coffee. If I keep going back, I will only know how to draw one direction of profile because of the store layout.

Another round of urban sketching during a train ride.
A fellow passenger asked what I was doing that was so interesting. I explained it briefly and then decided to stop for the time being. 😬

A fast #urbansketching of a teachers meeting at Big Coffee this morning. Quite loud. I guess the librarians weren't invited.

Wasserturmplatz, Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin.

The Gottlieb Daimler Memorial in the greenhouse with an annex in the Kurpark of Bad Cannstatt. It was here that he secretly developed the first small, high-speed four-stroke engine together with Wilhelm Maybach.
The small museum also displays sketchbooks containing drawings from his travels. Thus, Gottlieb Daimler was not only an inventor but also an urban sketcher. 😄

Painting tiny still has a learning curve for me. My clip to hold this 5x5cm sketchbook open takes up a lot of real estate. Fixing stuff in between by removing it once in a while would be a good idea. Fewer squashed trees, for sure!

Sketchbook dump - urban sketching edition!
Český Krumlov was a dream place for sketching, so naturally I'd have liked to stay there longer than one day. But it's a good way to loosen up from comics.
The other sketch is from mapcrunch.
October is always so crazy busy (WHY tho) but I can't wait to make some time for urban sketching again!

Here's a single charcoal sheet of Marie Antoinette types as sort of a sample of what we will be doing in my local class in 10 days. not #urbansketching

A train journey offers plenty of opportunities to do a few quick sketches.

What I drew vs. what I saw.
Obviously my sense of scale is not quite there. Or I could say I altered it to give more emphasis to the fountain...

Here are two more little sketches from my “on the go” sketchbook from this summer.
I left them just as I drew them on the train and in the café.
By the way, it was a Schokoladen Café. 😋 🍫

My September 2026 art recap blog post is live. Sadly, the summer holidays are over so a bit less to show than recently.

September 2026 Art Recap

The new school year started in September, so naturally I’ve had much less time for hobbies and therefore much less to show than during the summer.

Supplies

I am quite the fan of the tiny 5x5cm sketchbooks. As these Chinese made products usually disappear quite quickly I ordered a few more for my stash:

I also went to a big art store in town and left with a few Neocolor IIs and some watercolor:

I added these to my set of 15 because it didn’t have any nice greens or greys. Naturally, that meant that they didn’t fit into the same tin anymore. They do fit in my Fancolor pencil tin almost perfectly, though.

Caran d’Ache Neocolor II

I am still getting used to this medium. It’s a bit frustrating at times, but I guess that’s to be expected as it’s just different enough from watercolour and gouache. It’s quite nice to not have to use water all the time to get something down on the page, though.

Watercolour

I also did some watercolour work. That’s still my favourite medium and I like my results best and sometimes wonder why I even bother with anything else.

Gouache

With gouache I am still experimenting on how to use it outdoors. I am still getting the hang of that.

It is however also very satisfying using it in a more deliberate way.

During a hike in the beginning of autumn we found this beautiful house.

How could I not make an attempt at painting it after the sketch I made a couple of days ago?

I used the #Canson sandy mixed media paper again. What do you think?

Since the weather forecast predicted rain for the #uskdortmund meeting on Thursday, I paid a visit to 'Slim Mathilde' 🕜 on Tuesday.
