Sketchtour Schwäbisch Hall, still Day 2 - Siedersketching / Portraitsketching

 

10 minute people sketching

Katharina invited the Salt boilers (Sieder) of Schwäbisch Hall to Museum HFM and a delegation of them came in their traditional clothing and they also made music for us, gave a speech and we could sketch them in 10 minute poses. Awesome.

This lady is the first lady of the Sieder people, carrying the very important cock in her hands. The garments had the following colours: white, red, green and black.

Emily was my third sketching model and I sketched her a bit older than she was, but I am quite satisfied with the ten minute portrait sketch...

Above is our first model...

 

This was my view...and I started to sketch Emily after the Sieders first Lady... 

Here come the three sketches I made in one spread:

Thank you to all all our Portrait Models for the great performance.

Here is our group photo on which there are many sketchers missing...

(too shy shy)

 ...and here the Sieder/Sketcher photo:

Thank you everybody and thank you to Dr. Panter and Museum HFM for letting us use their awesome Barocksaal!

Justyna is coming!

 

Justyna arrived one day before Sketchtour SHA and as soon as she was there, we went sketching in the nice medieval city of Vellberg. In my upper sketch, I sketched her into the watercolour...;)

 

This was a wonderful warmup for us as the next day the Sketchtour Schwäbisch Hall was about to begin. (The left sketch is Justynas and the right one is mine.)

USk Symposium Amsterdam 2019 - Sketching, Registration and Opening Reception

 























Oh I nearly forgot to post the sketch I did yesterday partly at the train station upon leaving my hometown and the sketch I did on the same side below of a few sketchers I saw...

Plus on the evening before we did some kind of fast night Sketching (my left sketch is a 5 min thing - fast and in a very tired mood) at Cafe Sluyswacht and went back to the hotel after a drink as we were all extremely tired from our long travels. We still had to plan where to go in the following morning for sketching and meeting friends for breakfast and to pack our sketching materials for the next day (the important thing was to pack a not too heavy bag and sketching material, as the Registration with the big goody bag would be in the afternoon at Zuiderkerk (already heavy stuff) and the Opening Reception for the 10th Urban Sketchers Symposium later.

The Registration was a fast thing, thanks to the many Volunteers in red T-Shirts. 

What a joy to meet all those friends of last years Symposium again and to make new friends as well. 



more of Amsterdam tomorrow...
