More stones

 

the second drawing of the geology tour. The girld stood there long enough for a pencil sketch (contour, wheels and posture was enough). The rest drawn after she was gone.

Ber and the stones

A week ago we went sketching with the Maastricht group again. We started at the Museum for Natural History. They had a route through town with 18 locations where you could see different types of stones that were used during construction, through the ages. Interesting. But after 2 locations (and drawings) we found a nice terrace with some excellent beer. The drawing shows Ber, one of our group. He had a brain haemorrhage some years ago, couldn't use his normal arm, so learned to use the other hand by drawing and sketching. He is always there when we go sketching.

Fire cart

A fire cart as part of the musuem of the old coal mines in our region. It was used in the mines, and dated back to 1922.
