Sketching beautiful bodies in Strasbourg

Guest post by Lolo Wagner in Strasbourg, France.

For about 15 years, I’ve been sketching the workshop of a vintage and classic car restorer. I discovered this amazing place by chance, making music in a
studio located next door.

There is a wide variety of
subjects to draw in Strasbourg but the climate is not always pleasant to
sketch outdoors. It’s quite convenient to go to this place, it’s heated
a little and sheltered from the weather during winter. The welcome has
been very cordial and I’m a part of the team now.

I always
like sketching in the back shops, and discovering things rarely seen by
the public. I also love old cars, so the combination is perfect!

The
place has been remodeled several times since I’ve started to frequent
it, and even though the cars remain for several years, they evolve
slowly, the subjects changing each time.

I discovered USk about three years ago when a friend was published in Gabi’s book, The Art of Urban Sketching. Since then I’ve organised sketchcrawls every three months and last year I became one of the director team members of USk France. I’ve also had the pleasure of organising this year’s national meeting USk France, in Strasbourg, which was a great success with 200 participants. I could put faces on virtual friends!
