A visit

Yesterday Luis Simoes, of World Sketching Tour, arrived in Aarhus. (You can
read a bit about his project here)

a day early

We
looked through his sketchbooks, heard about the trip this far, and
talked a lot of sketching. Today I went sketching with him in my town, and a
day of frequent showers and mellow temperatures kept us alternating
between indoor and outdoor sketching.

We
started out with a wake-up sketch over the breakfast table.

I tried
out the Pentel brushpen in my small pocket sketchbook -the brushpen works really well in the moleskine sketchbooks with the paper coating to absorb the ink quickly and cleanly.

In town we did a few quick sketches by the canal, before being chased off by a persistent shower.

We moved on to Aros Museum and went up on the roof to experience (and sketch inside) Olafur Eliasson’s installation Your Rainbow Panorama – you can see some of my photos taken inside the installation earlier in this post: yellow. Afterwards we moved down to the ground floor where we both sketched Ron Mueck’s sculpture Boy.

We rounded off the day with a bit of sax and a bite at a cafe.

All the sketches of the day were done in my little pocket moleskine using markers, colour pencils, and a pentel brushpen.
