Lübbelau, Scharnebeck
The Lübbelau is a small park in the village of Scharnebeck. Until yesterday, I was teaching an urban sketching class in Scharnebeck, and as I don’t know this place all that well I always felt uncertain about where to take
St. Johannis, Lüneburg
This wee painting was a workshop demo. My point here was to use a very reduced palette so as to work out the light-shadow pattern more clearly – the imagined light-shadow pattern, I should add, because it was overcast that
Musicians and their instruments | Musiker und ihre Instrumente
Recently at a chamber music festival: We were sitting quite far away from the stage, but not too far so that I couldn’t do a few pencil drawings of the musicians. This was almost two weeks ago and I had
Gladiolas
Like I said yesterday, Saturday’s paint-out was a bit flawed insofar as the weather forced us indoors, at least temporarily. And there, indoors, lovely flowers in large vases were waiting to get painted! I went for the gladiolas, and I

Workshop am 12. August
Wer hat Lust, am 12. August draußen mit mir in Lüneburg zu malen? In diesem eintägigen Workshop geht es tatsächlich weniger ums korrekte Sehen und Zeichnen und viel mehr um die Farbe und das Malen. Ich bin selber über die
Vicarage St. Michaelis | Pastorat St. Michaelis, Lüneburg
The other day, as I was searching for a suitable location for my Monday evening Urban Sketching class, I came across a whole slew of buildings which I had somehow never seen before. The part of town where they are
In the monastery | Im Kloster
There are several interesting pieces of ecclesiastical architecture nearby, but none so complex and appealing as Kloster Lüne. Kloster means monastery, and although this particular one is open to the public and features a lovely café and a few craft
