Benrath Castle / Schloß Benrath

Last weekend some sketchers met at Benrath Castle in the south of Duesseldorf. It is small but very pretty and is surrounded by nice gardens. The castle seemed a bit overambitious on that beautiful summer day. So I choose some of the statues behind the castle to be my motive. It is rather a collage…

Kiosk 07

This little shop is situated on Duesseldorfs famous Koenigsallee. I’m not sure if I can call it a kiosk. Perhaps better say premiumkiosk? :-)) . Dieses Exemplar steht auf Düsseldorfs Prachtmeile, der Königsallee. Von daher bin ich nicht sicher, ob ich es Büdchen nennen kann… sicherheitshalber lieber Premiumkiosk? :-))

Quick sketches / Schnelle Skizzen

Fountain / Brunnen

Last week  my friend Marita and I met to sketch this fountain. The fountain didn’t like it and tried to chase us off with lots of water in our direction. That is the reason why my sketch looks a bit weird:-) . Letzte Woche wollten Marita und ich den Schalenbrunnen skizzieren. Das gefiel dem Brunnen…

Kiosk 06

This kiosk seems to be one of the most popular I found so far. There are always many people hanging around, having a coffee or in the evening perhaps a beer or two. It is near the river Rhine and you can also just sit there and watch the ships pass. . Dieser Kiosk ist…
