More drawings from last saturday, when I joined up with the Urban Sketchers Belgium.
At first we went to the Citadelle, up on the hills surrounding Liège. On top you see my drawing (I just felt for a different style) and just under it the Lapin version of the same scene. He stood next to me.
And below a drawing of (nearly) all participants to the meeting, when we were seated on the terrace. Likeliness not guaranteed.

A lovely cityscape. I like the way that you simply outlined the background buildings and left them blank. It establishes the depth of the scene without taking the viewer's attention away from the buildings that you focus on. It must have taken considerable time to draw all the detail in the foreground buildings.
Thanks Michael, it's always difficult to find out how much to leave out before it gets boring.
I made a small watercolour before this one, adding too much detail in the background, so I knew where to restrain myself. I should do that more often, a quick value sketch before starting the real one.
I think the drawing itself took me about an hour to make.
Prachtig!
Bedankt Geert-Jan.
Heel mooi, goede kleurkeuze!
En sommige van je portretten vind ik wel heel gelijkend :)
Mooi zeg, jouw stadstekening, met de achtergrond niet ingevuld. Inderdaad goed om een keuze te maken wat je aandacht geeft en wat niet! Ook leuk om de tekening van Lapin erbij te zien, zo verschillend en toch vanaf bijna hetzelfde standpunt.
Prachtig, Rene! Heel anders dan de schetsen van de Luikse tekenaars!

One of my favorites! Beautiful work, Rene.
Dank je Veerle.
Tineke, Lapin stond letterlijk naast me, leuk om te zien dat hij e.e.a. geheel anders interpreteerd.
Dank je Nico.
Thanks Rob.
