Recently I visited the local botanical garden. It was a very hot day and I wasn’t sure what to sketch until I crossed this construction site.

This sketch is a little photoshopped because I left out some roofs and one huge and not very handsome power pole! And yes, it is… Room with a view / Zimmer mit Aussicht weiterlesen

Zugegeben kein richtiges Spielzeug, aber ist es nicht toll, neues Material zu probieren, die Stifte, die Farben, das Papier des neuen Skizzenbuches? Trotz… new toys / neues Spielzeug weiterlesen
