Thursday evening #urbansketching in Dortmund. Adlerturm and cherry blossoms (or whatever kind of prunus trees those are).
From next week on - with summer time - there'll be no more sun sets to watch...

Thursday's meetup of #uskdortmund at Friedensplatz.
I was dissatisfied because the picture was too pale for me. That's why I painted around in it some more at home.

Much too noisy for me. 😒
So I stopped drawing.

The morning's snowfall turned into sleet later in the day. At the Thursday's meetup of #uskdortmund we decided to sketch indoors, in the Museum Ostwall of the Dortmund U-Tower.

A sketchbook in front of illuminated display cases containing fossils. A giant insect hovers above. Text: Carboniferous The Carboniferous period began 358 million years ago. At that time, present-day Dortmund was located on the equator, and the climate was tropical, humid, and warm. In the vast swampland between the coast and an extensive mountain range, forests of tree-high horsetails and clubmosses grew. Giant insects buzzed among the plants, and millipedes several meters long crawled about. The Carboniferous period also holds special significance for the Ruhr region: Over the course of geological history, the remains of these plants formed massive coal seams. The Carboniferous period ended 296 million years ago.
#naturesketching with #uskdortmund at the Natural History Museum. Carboniferous - or the age of giant insects. 🪰😍

#uskdortmund meet up last Thursday: Sketching in and around the "Wintergalerie" (in the old Kaufhaus building). Me: outside, just a view of the "Westenhellweg". In not too cold temperature (8 °C), almost hot already. (Me, anyway, or is that just the hot flashes?)

A sketchbook in front of a wall in the art exhibition. Square paintings with seascapes of varying sizes hang there. A stylized figure stands in front of them.

My favorites there are the paintings by Heike Onnertz.

I had actually wanted to draw the illuminated toy vending machine. Then I saw the young woman carefully catching a pigeon.🕊️

Yesterday: last #uskdo #urbansketching meet up for this year: Stefanie wanted to sketch the big Christmas tree and the Christmas market because she hadn't yet, so that's where we went. (This time the lights on the tree were turned on and somehow I'm not hating it quite as much as I think I should).
Sketchbook in front of taxidermied specimens of hare and rabbit in the museum.
During the #naturesketching session of #uskdortmund at the Naturmuseum #Dortmund , we were able to admire fluff and feathers.

Last Thursday evening #uskdo meetup: night time #urbansketching of the merry go round during the in-between-markets phase (time between Hanse market and official Christmas market) with the pretty big moon in the background.
(getting the colors right is a lot harder in the dark)
The last few weeks of #uskdo #urbansketching :
Rombergpark, Propsteikirche (three little boys helping me color in the sky and the trees),
and yesterday sketching in the dark on the Hansemarkt (a try at sketching moving people)
It's the dark season now: no more daylight Thursday evening sketches 🥲
The east side of St. Peter's Church with climbing vines in autumn colors. A small statue stands in front. Collage of the portrait-format sketch and the photo of the church.
Thursday meeting of the #uskdortmund on Hiroshima Square on the east side of Petrikirche.
An unpleasant contrast to the relaxed sketches on the weekend.

Thursday meeting of the #uskdortmund on 'Übelgünne' street. It's derived from 'pasture for foals'. So, it used to be beautiful here.
