International USk Festival in Swidnica, Poland - Flower Market - Clocktower - Exhibition

 

One morning there was some rain, so we hided under the town hall arcades and sketched the flower market which was opposite. I was in good company of some sketchfriends and we had a good time.

 

On Sunday morning sketcher Michael proposed to Stephanie, Skri and me to go up the clocktower of the townhall building and there we sat with an awesome 360° view of the city. You could have sketched there several days in a row. I found the clock itself very interesting and focused on it...and...among all those hundred sketches this one was elected "sketch of the day" on Sunday. What an honour. I received a sketchset of watercolours plus a sketchbook. Will try them some time in the future. Thank you so much USk Poland.

Lateron I sketched the Hermes on a Rooftop of an iconic building in Swidnica:

And then there was this column...but we had to hurry to the exhibition so I stopped in between...

The final Exhibition was held at the Swidnica Cultural Centre.

 

In the end of the Sketchfestival our sketches were displayed in this beautiful exhibition space, all same size, printed in A4 on 200gms. It looked fantastic.

Thank you so much for everything it was an awesome event.

 

International USk Festival in Swidnica, Poland - Fountain

If I counted right, there were 3 large fountains around market square in Swidnica. The houses are beautiful and what should I say, the food and coffee places fantastic. At Chococoffee I sketched Tomasz with coloured pencil on some Aurora paper.

 

I did two nightsketches. One was a fast sketch of Jana during our dinner. We sat outside and there was nearly no light source...I gave up after a few minutes...too weird conditions...

Another 20 minute nightsketch I made in company of my good sketchfriends Isaac (@Elartista777) and @janvitekart. This is the Swidnica Cathedral by night...

Thanks, my friends for the fun.

International USk Festival in Swidnica, Poland - Church of Peace

 

The first official venue for us was sketching at the Church of Peace in Swidnica. We sat beside tombstones and skeched this Unesco World Heritage Site.

There was also a challenge every day and the Orga Team decided each day on the sketch of the day.

My second sketch was of on of the tombstones beside the church. In order to be faster I made a black inkpen sketch and watercoloured just randomly.

 You can see the three different official stamps they had on this sketch.
