Sunday in Marktplatz

I was sorry I missed Dr. Sketchy this week, even more after seeing Olivia's, Urs' and Nathaniel's sketches. They made me feel like drawing people again but I didn't find time until today.
Yesterday the city was crowded and I expected the shops would open on Sunday for the avid Christmas shoppers, but it turned out everything were closed and there were only a couple of tourists. At least it was sunny and not too cold to sketch.

Skizzieren am Flughafen

Skizzieren mit Freunden im Caffè Presto im Flughafen. Es ist noch keine Weihnachtshektik zu spüren. Ganz friedlich.

More Dr. Sketchy with Nini de Paris

I was in Basel while this event took place, and was very happy to have been able to participate. Nini de Paris was very expressive in her poses and costume, which made her fun to draw. The organizers mentioned that they might begin an event closer to Geneva. I hope that happens! I've missed drawing the model since moving here.

Nini de Paris at Dr. Sketchy's

 Was gestern Abend die hübsche Nini de Paris geboten hat, mit ihren Yogaverrenkungen und akrobatischen Stellungen an Band und Trapez, war wirklich ausserordentlich. Ein Augenschmaus!

Beim Zeichnen ist es wie in der Akrobatik, zuerst aufwärmen!

Yoga für Fortgeschrittene

Quasi l'hiver

Quoi de mieux qu'un jour glacé et humide pour aller dessiner dehors, immobile, en reniflant de temps à autre? Voilà à quoi sert le week-end.

Vel d'Hiv

Here are 3 quick drawings from my local velodrome, the Vel d'Hiv in Geneva, where I like to ride.

I'll be in Basel at the Dr. Sketchy event this Wednesday evening. If anybody plans to be there, shoot me a message. I'd like to meet some others in the group!

Schutzenmattpark

Almost no time to sketch lately. This I did with the last ten minutes of natural light this week... and my gloves on, of course.

Coffe break

Salzburg

A very quick trip to Salzburg.  Just a few hours to tour this beautiful mountain city, enjoy the first moments of the famous Christmas market and make the mandatory urban sketch.  Amazing Christmas atmosphere if not a bit kitchy.
