A couple of months ago there was a Urbansketchers meeting in Aschaffenburg, a very nice city in Bavaria close to Frankfurt and along the Main River.
Even if it was quite cold and windy, we got to make a few sketches. Here is my contribution.

 After sketching outside, we went to the mythic Schlappeseppel brewery to eat some Wurst mit Kraut and drink some.. Bier of course 😋

Itchy Teeth

at "Blaues Haus"
I went there with Katharina, to hear the music and mainly to draw, without not so many expectations... but we were surprised!

a great concert of this young band "Itchy Teeth" from London. I loved the musicality in their songs, voices duos, the variety of repertoire.. yes I took the CD and I do this seltem!

The sketch with went to U.K back with them

The public enjoying it sooo much, in the little and magical "Blaues Haus"

Hafen 2

Ich mag es sehr dort, sowohl drinnen wie draußen, mit dem schönen Blick auf den Main.. Hier aber keiner Ausblick, erstmal nur Leute..

Creative World

It is now exactly one week ago, on Sunday the 31th January, that I went to the Bloggers Meeting by Hahnemühle Stand, in the Frankfurter Fair "Paper World". 

Surprise!!! raspberry-choco muffin... yummi!

It was a very interesting and funny meeting, we tested some new products during the watercolor workshop with Audry Backs.

Testing the new watercolor sketchbook of Hahnemühle

I was also glad to meet my friend Omar who was in the Caran D'Ache Stand and I haven't seen since a long time ago. He also showed me some new products of the brand, I loved the waterbrush!

Omar testing Caran D'Ache mixing pen (or something similar..)

Me testing Caran D'Ache waterbrush.

I came back full of new equipment! I have now papers and sketchbooks for a long time! :D
Thanks Hahnemühle for the nice day and the curious explanation about the history of the firma and the making-paper process. I am now even more fan!

Südflügel Bethanien

ist etwas Besonderes..
Hier eine alte Aquarell Zeichnung, in Frühling, oh Frühling!, weil die Kirschbäume geblüht waren...
etwa 2 Jahre her ... als ich noch in Berlin wohnte, und mich jeden Tag um meine Zukunft Sorgen machte, und mit meinem süßen, kaputten, türkisblauen Fahrrad jeden Tag durch Kreuzberg und Neukölln um herum streifte.. Mir scheint es nun eine Ewigkeit her, aber Berlin bringe ich ins Herz.

El Miguelete

Here is the most well-known tower of Valencia, with its graceful figure. This is a view from the square Plaza de la Virgen.

It was a very hot Monday morning, I met with the urban sketcher fellow Esperanza, and we were very busy looking for shadows where we could rest and draw, if possible with an interesting perspective too.

Era un Lunes por la mañana, y me encontré con la Urban Sketcher valenciana Esperanza para dibujar. El calor ya apretaba y fuimos buscando como locas sombras donde poder pararse a dibujar, a ser posible con perspectivas interesantes.

I love the cosy and elegant atmosphere, the warmth of the wood and colors they chose and the vintage air.

Sommer Abend auf der Hasenheide Wiese

Summer evening in the Hasenheide fields

Tarde de Verano en los campos de Hasenheide.

Teltow Kanal

Canal of Teltow, again a rich vegetation scape, and a fresh wildlife watercolor.

Before the night arrived...

I drew this evening watercolor.  I came with my bike, direct from the work. I wanted to watch my vegetables evolution in the little garden that I am renting this year again, at the south of Berlin.
Oh! I love so much to go there. Yesterday was nearly empty, as the day was very rainy and it was already late...  Before ridding back home I decided to let in my sketchbook a souvenir of this moment, the day death. A sky full of clouds, the dark orange sun hiding between rains and rains, featuring an incredible beautiful scenery of all kinds of colors and clouds shapes that I can not show you!
Oh, how much I love the country side.

Lindenblüten

Linden tree flowers. Linden or lime trees, are the largest population of trees in Berlin. I guess more than the half?

And up the end of May, along June, their little rounded buds start to bloom, sparkling in the whole city, specially evenings and nights after warm days, their sweet and delicious fragrance.

Los tilos son los árboles más numerosos de Berlin.
Más de la mitad de los árboles, diría yo que son tilos. De diferentes formas, tipos, algunos con las hojas más pequeñas y redondeadas, con el envés aterciopelado y de plata, otros con estructura colgante, cada especie floreciendo escalonadamente. Y desde finales de Mayo, casi durante Junio entero, esparciendo su fragancia dulce por la ciudad, especialmente en las tardes y noches tras los días calurosos.

Queer, it was last week..

and my queerest order up to nowadays. It was also funny to move a bit away from my usual subjects. Not that much. All around nature and being...

Thousand people in the Opening, really!

And you can still visit the exhibition or going each Thursday to the many performances, until 10th August.

So if you wish to come and see me, you might also want to take part in the performance of Alex Giegold & Tomka Weiß 's Project, this Thursday the 3th July at 19.00.
I will be there as Illustrator and courtroom artist for the performance. Drop by! it will be fun!

Einsamkeit auf den Mauergang

Loneliness at the Wall way.
