Skizzieren mit Buntstiften

[by Peter Rush in Sydney, Australia] Here’s a post just to show how I typically sketch. I was in the city centre of Sydney and came across this view that looked deep into Hunter St. The only paper I had left was an old backing sheet, pretty dirty. I knew it wouldn’t matter and all […]

Ein verschneiter (Sommer-)Weihnachtsbaum

 by Liz Steel, Sydney Australia My December has been so busy putting together a 7 part series on my blog about all using fountain pens for sketching, that I have hardly had a chance to do any sketching with my fountain pens!

Mein Reisebericht über Melbourne und Sydney (6-16 November 2015)

Meine erste Reise nach Australien war 2007, und zwar nach Brisbane, Queensland. Es war eine lustige Reise, aber ich konnte mich nicht an viel erinnern, weil ich damals noch nicht mit dem Skizzieren begonnen hatte. Seit ich mit dem Skizzieren begonnen habe, habe ich auf meinen Reisen immer ein Skizzenbuch dabei. Durch das Skizzieren wurden die Reisen [...]

It’s time consuming work and it is all about producing a correct accurate set of plans to construct a building. Once the […]
