Sketchcrawling in Aarhus

I made a date with my sketch-buddy Anette on the last international sketchcrawl, Saturday April 16th. We tried to round up a few more people, but again without luck – it’s amazing how difficult it is to get a group of sketchers together in this town considering the number of art schools etc. We’ll keep on trying – if you’re local please join us next time around, it would be great to have a group, and you don’t need to be experienced to take part!

We met at Løves Bog og Vin at 10:30 for a cup of coffee and the first sketches:

Anette had been working on perspective lately, which inspired us both to draw a view including the passage towards the back room:

I don’t have pictures of Anette’s drawings, but you can see a few photos from the day in her Flickr stream.

We moved on to Pustervig square, where we found a table outside Café Jorden under the heaters:
 

We both wanted to sketch at the small outdoor market on Bispetorv square, so we concluded the sketchcrawl there, borrowing a couple of cases from the one-armed flower lady and her daughter to sit on while we sketched:
 

Quite a few people stopped to look and talk to us while we were sketching here, all very friendly.

On the way home I did a little quick sketching at the bus stop and on my ride home:
 

I made this sketchbook with assorted papers as an experiment – you can read about the process in the post on my blog if you’re interested.
