November in der Kleinstadt
Die Bäume vor den Fenstern in unserer Wohnung haben irgendwie beeinflusst, was ich heutzutage male. Ich sehe so viel Schönheit, wenn ich durch die nacktenn Bäume sehe.
Los arboles frente a las ventanas de nuestro apartamento, han influido en lo que pinto estos dias. Veo mucha belleza en los arboles desnudos a traves de los cuales puedo ver.
The trees next to our apartment's windows have influenced what I paint these days. I see a lot of beauty when I look through these naked trees.

Menschen zeichnen
Um unser Leben in Zeichnungen wiederzugeben, ist es notwendig, mit der menschlichen Figur in ihrer täglichen Umgebung umzugehen. Darum geht es in meinem neuen Zeichenworkshop im Kunstpark in Herne, NRW.

Journal Sketching Human Edition in Kunstpark
Information: https://www.kunstpark-shop.de/
In March and May I will be offering new human sketching workshops in Kunstpark, Herne. This are meant to improve our people observation skills as a complement to urban sketching. People are the life in urban environments. Pastell urban sketches / Pastelskitzzen

Lately I have been working on pastel sketching. This year, I will be offering several workshops in this medium.
Winter offers magic atmospheres. People look for warmth, even if it is only a feeling coming from lights and fireplaces or just by getting together with other people.
I love the light streaming through the baren winter trees

Not all my sketches were done "in situ". Here is one out of fantasy after viewing dozens of Northern light photos. We never got to see the aurora borealis in Alaska. It was a summer vacation.

Mi Caracas
Esta, mi primera pieza de arte luminico, me transporta a Caracas, aunque este lejos. Es la vista desde las colinas del sureste hacia el Avila. Estoy trabajando en una edicion limitada en dos versiones. Una con placa de acero cepillado (gris mate claro) sobre una base blanca. La otra, con placa de cobre. Asi se puede armonizar con ambientes mas frios o mas calidos. Iluminacion LED incluida. Tamano: 33 x 105 cm. Precio 100 Euros + costos de envio (Alemania +7, Union Europea +15).

Sketching with pastells / Pastellskitzzen / Trabajando con pastel
Lage habe ich niemanden gesehen, der in Pastell arbeitet. Ich möchte ihr Potenzial auch für das "urban sketching"erkunden.
No he visto a nadie trabajando con pastel ultimamente .Quiero explorar su potencial para el dibujo urbano.
Viva Dusseldorf!

Leute in der Bahn / Pasajeros en el tren / Train passengers

Die Bahnreise nach Dortmund dauert etwa 45 minuten, genuegend fur 3-4 dieser Skitzzen. Die meissten Passagiere beschaeftigen sich mit dem Handy, Musik und seltener mit einem Buch.

El tren a Dortmund toma alrededor de 45 minutos, tiempo suficiente para dibujar 3-4 de estos esbozos. La mayoria de los pasajeros se entretienen con el celular, escuchar musica y en raras ocasiones, con un libro.

The train takes about 45 minutes from Essen to Dortmund, enough to draw 3-4 of these sketches. Most passengers entertain themselves with cell phones, listening to music, seldom with a book.
Sketching in the Dortmund Operahouse

Sometimes all things fall into place. Coincidences that make your heart very happy! Yesterday the Dortmund Urban Sketchers decided to meet at the local Opera house. Surprise! At the moment we approached the building, a big sign invited people to join the "Aida" rehearsal, preceded by an interview with performers at the foyer. It was a great opportunity to sketch people there, sitting and standing everywhere.
No available chairs? A couple of tables will have to do.
