sketch-berlin03sketch-berlin04In the middle of november the weather allowed me to sketch outside So I took a little sketchbook and some pastels with me. I choose a place where I had a good view over some old buildings, partially destroyed during the last war.

During the last months I had not much time for sketching, so I decided to upload some recent sketches from november and one from the summer I found recently. All of them are sketched on location with an inkpen and one also with colored pencils.

plein airs from Rügen (Ruegen spelled like Bruno)

klein-zicker

In the middle of June I spent 5 days painting on the the german island Rügen (Ruegen), the biggest german island in the baltic sea. All these paintings are from the south-east part, especially from Klein- and Groß-Zicker. Zicker is an old slavic name for tit (the small birds – Paridae). The polish name for tits is sikora. On two photos you can see my new painting gear – a so called pochade box, imported directly from Montana/USA. This is the »Bitterroot« modell. There is a guy – Ben Haggett – who produces these exceptional wooden boxes. It’s a real joy to paint with.

great-crested grebe

black-ternpodiceps-cristatuspainting-gearSouth-east from Berlin is located the Seddin-lake. There is a spot, where black-headed gulls, great-crested grebes and black terns are breeding together. I spent about 6 hours on a boat bridge not covered in the bright sun. My left face is now sunburned. Actually I wanted to sketch the black terns, but all these breeding grebes were good subjects of painting.
