A sketch for the season
First, the sketch I made for this year's seasonal greetings. It's actually our house and our church: the church is downstairs, we live upstairs. I tried to keep to the style of the Dutch painter Anton Pieck. Our part of town looks, especially if there is a little snow, just like his calendar illustrations anyway.
It's a pity the previous owner had the facade plastered, now there's very little structure to render.
The other sketch is a few years old. We visited Arnstadt in 2004. A really nice little town in the process of being restored. There were still plenty of the old, dilapidated buildings that are so much fun to render or paint.
