Just shells / Muscheln

Some shells I collected during my holiday. Did I already mention that I can’t walk along a beach without picking up some shells? 🙂 Ein paar Muscheln vom letzten Urlaub. Ich kann einfach nicht am Strand spazierengehen, ohne die ein oder andere aufzuheben! 🙂

Renesse

I wanted to do a one person sketchwalk through Renesse but I found so many interesting things within only 100 meters that I didn’t even move a lot. It is my favorite sketch from this years holiday. If you should wonder the bucket in the middle is really big! A toddler can stand upright in…

Boswachterij

Another beautiful beach near Renesse. While I was sketching I could overhear a young man say to his girlfriend: „Why are you always collecting shells? You already hava a pile of them on the table at home?!“ She just smiled and said: „You can never have enough shells“. And I totally agree! Der traumhafte Strand…

Prerow 03

There are lots of so called Zeesenboote. A special kind of boad perfect for the sometimes shallow water. They have dark sails which I find a bit unusual but liked them a lot. Es gibt noch ziemlich viele Zeesenboote, perfekt für die flachen Gewässer dort. Die dunklen Segel fand ich ungewöhnlich, aber die Boote waren…

Prerow 01

In July I spent a very interesting week in Prerow in the eastern part of Germany at the Baltic sea. The plan was to do some painting. To do a lot of painting. But instead I somehow ended up doing a lot of sketching instead. So here is part one of my travel sketches that…

not long ago / noch gar nicht lange her

Today it is cold and rainy outside so I came back to a sketch from the beach. It is hard to believe that less than a month ago it was actually so dry and warm. Of course the rain is very much welcome for mother nature but a bit of sunlight would be nice too,…

down to the beach / Weg zum Strand

Here is another sketch from my holiday. When you walk towards the beach the first things you see are some colorful flags and with every step further you see more and more from the sea and the beach. I love walking down this way.   Noch ein Nachschlag vom Urlaub. Wenn man über die Düne…

at the beach / nochmal Strand

I hope you don’t get bored but here is another sketch from the beach. We took a long walk along the shore at Boswachterij Westerschouwen and then back to the bicycles through the shady forest. It was a really hot day for mid September and the shade was very welcome! While I was painting (very…

Beach bar / Strandbar

On the second day of our holiday we took a long walk along the beach. Every now and then appears a beach bar where you can pause if you want. And then walk on to the next. And the next. And the next:-)   Am zweiten Tag haben wir einen langen Strandspaziergang gemacht. Der Strand…

Beach / Strand

So I’m back from a wonderful but way too short holiday at the sea in Zeeland. The weather was so marvellous with lots of sunshine and blue sky. This very fast sketch is from the first day. I headed straight down to the water and happily painted for a few minutes.   Leider ist der…
