Since some times already me and my friends from Halle plan a session day for sketching outside. Today was the day and lucky it was sunny.

 

                                            Kleine Steinstraße.
                              Watercolor and ink on Canson paper 
                                  24 cmx 32 Cm 300gm/ m2

Today it was a hot day and my girls decided to spend few hours in the afternoon at the swimming pool. It was a really crowded place and I couldn't hold my horses, so I did some fast sketches. I had literary only few seconds to ketch the gesture and, beside the big challenge of the event, it was also quite funny. I felt like a small thief stealing little bits of body language.Here it is my "work result"

When I saw that Anca started to have her fun painting feathers I decide to give a try for a full bird. But I was not brave enough so I chose a little one :)

Gottesackerstraße in Halle/Saale

 I spent a beautiful afternoon with my wife, sketching out-door. It sounds romantic but being both a kind of an artist, is not so easy all the time drawing or painting together. But today it went just perfect. Thanks for your advices Anca :)

 

While they focus on the ruins I did a small sketch right on the opposite direction.

It was a real fast one and I have to confess that the nature was looking faaaaar better that my humble sketch. The light stripes where golden and the grass it was a golden green. Hard to say it even in words.

In the evenings, after a working day, it's good to refresh doing some small sketches in the "plein-air". I do that with my family and of course the best art work belongs always to my daughter :)
