Last saturday I went to Rekem, in Belgium, just across the border.
There was an exhibition in the old caslte, organized by Matty Engelen, another Urban Sketcher.
The exhibition was very interesting, with a lot of beautiful works.
I couldn't resist making some sketches, especially when Matty told me about the access into one of the towers of the castle. When I was working on the above view of Rekem, the photographer Frits Paffen mounted the stairs, and made these beautiful pictures of the work in progress.
I made another drawing, that I will show in a few days.
The two sketches of Rekem are interesting. Your lines aren't too pronounced which makes them a little more realistic. I also found the photo of you sketching interesting because it shows what kind of watercolour set you use as well as your arrangements on your sketchbook. Everyone has a different system which works for them. Some have a lot of colours in their kit, others fewer; some use tiny sketchbooks, others large sheets of paper. Good posting.
ReplyDeleteI will give you some information about my methods in another post, you are right, it may be interesting to tell how I work, and by which methods.
