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.

Urban Sketching Festival in Swidnica

We were invited to attend the International USk Festival, held in Swidnica and organized by USk Poland. Four days of sketching, lectures and workshops. 

We were happy to meet old and new friends, have great art talks, eat and drank together and produced lots of great art in this beautiful city. Thank you to Jystina and her team of USk Poland. Justyna also designed the packaging of colours (Aquarius Watercolours) from the festival goodie bag.

 

What an honour, that my friend Justyna invited us to stay with the orga team in a beautiful hotel within the surroundings of Swidnica Church of Peace and we were so lucky having also breakfast together. 

For them it was one year of planning and organizing. For us it was sketchers heaven. Wereas the festival began already on Thursday for us the way was very far, which is why we stayed overnight in Dresden and we arrived on Friday still in the late morning....my first sketch there was at lunchtime when I made a fast sketch of Piotr...

...stay tuned for my Dresden sketches and more of Swidnica...
