Finally, my drawngs of the sketchcrawl event.

As the weather became better, and I made this painting of the yearly Spring market in the centre of Heerlen while kneeling on the ground. My daughter told me afterwards that I attracted a large crowd behind me. But I can tell you I didn't notice it at all, far too concentrated on drawing&painting. Watercoour on Schut 300 gram paper 24x30cm.

Two more sketches, I made these inside the Glaspaleis, during the rain.

Papier rol

Luc Peeters maakte hoogst orgineel werk, op een lange doorlopende papierrol. Prachtige kleurrijke tekeningen, met wasco en oliekrijt. Hier een foto in actie. Kijk ook op haar internetsite http://www.lucpeeters.nl/index2.htm

Luc Peeters made these beautiful drawings on a large continuous paperroll, using oilpastels in fine colours.

Esther

The results of Esther. She made these beautiful drawings of the market. There was a cook preparing  something (I never got around to check what he was making). People were eating merrily and drinking wine. so it must have been good.
Esther also has a nice blog with more drawings and paintings, see  http://www.estherdebont.nl/.
Schetsen van Esther, ze tekende een kok met heerlijk ruikende gerechten bij een van de stalletjes van de jaarmarkt. Kijk ook eens op de blog van Esther, http://www.estherdebont.nl/

Florence

Another visitor from abroad: Florence from Castres, which is very, very, very south of France.
Fortunately she was in the neighbourhood, and joined our sketchcrawl. Here are her sketches of market vendors and... other sketchers!


You can find more beautiful drawings on her blog: http://lagaleriedeflo.wordpress.com/

Alma and Nico

These  are the drawings of Nico and is daughter Alma. Nico was co-organiser of this sketchcrawling event, and he convinced his daughter to join him. She made one of the most original contributions to the crawl: Bert and Ernie. These puppets were sitting on the windowsill of the large windowpanes of the Glaspaleis; and as we could not go outside because of the horrible weather, she decided that they were a fitting subject for a nice drawing. Here is your proof that there is always something interesting to draw.

Nico also made a drawing of the old Royal movie theater, one of the oldest surviving movie theaters in the Netherlands.

Tekeningen van Nico (mede orginisator) en zijn dochter Alma. Alma had het meest originele onderwerp van de crawl gevonden: Bert en Ernie. Deze poppen zaten op de vensterbank van het Glaspaleis. Bewijs voor de stelling: er is altijd iets interessants te vinden om te tekenen.

Nico heeft, behalve tekeningen van de Bongerd en de pancratiuskerk, ook nog een mooie impressie van het Royal filmtheater gemaakt, zie de onderste tekening. 

 

Jos

This is the drawing of Jos, he arrived a little later due to the bad weather, but managed to make some nice drawings on the market.

Joan

Here are the results from Joan, with her view through the first floor windows towards the Bongerd. It still rained at that point of time. De tekening van Joan, met het uitzicht vanaf de 1e verdieping richting de Bongerd.

Annette

Another guest from abroad: Annette from Hamm (Westfalen, Germany), see more of her inspiring drawings on http://www.flickr.com/photos/68582625@N07/

Nog een buitenlandse gast: Annette helemaal vanuit Hamm (Westfalen). Er staan nog meer tekeningen op haar flickr pagina.

Glenis

Here we show the drawings of Glenis, who came all the way from Bonn, Germany, to join us.
Some of the drawings are made from the first floor and show the market from above, some were made in the café of the Glaspaleis, and others on the street during the market.
Hier de tekeningen van Glenis. Ze kwam helemaal vanuit Bonn (Duitsland) voor ons scetchcrawl event. Scènes vanaf de eerste verdieping, de markt en het café van het Glaspaleis.

Tineke

 Tineke wrote a nice article about the sketchcrawl on her blog: http://tinekelemmens.blogspot.com/
Here a part of her text:
"... In The Netherlands there was a SketchCrawl in three cities: Gouda, Schiedam and Heerlen. I joined this last one. It looked like a fine day when I left home, but once my train left, a hail storm broke loose. In Heerlen, it rained plenty. So we had to start our SketchCrawl in the public library and coffeecorner at Schunck. Pretty funny, all these 'SketchCrawlers' drawing each other...
Eventually we did get some sunshine so we could finally go outside and draw the annual market. Here are some results of this fun day.

"....Ook in Nederland was vandaag op drie plaatsen een SketchCrawl: in Gouda, Schiedam en Heerlen. Ik deed mee aan die laatste. Het leek een mooie dag te gaan worden, maar ik zat amper in de trein of er barstte een enorme hagelbui los. Eenmaal in Heerlen, regende het flink. Onze SketchCrawl begon dus noodgedwongen in de bibliotheek en de koffiehoek van Schunck. Op zich al heel grappig: een tafel vol 'SketchCrawlers' die elkaar aan het portretteren waren...
Uiteindelijk brak toch nog de zon door en konden wij naar buiten om verder op de 'Heëlesje Joarmaat' (Heerlense jaarmarkt) te tekenen. Hieronder enkele resultaten van deze leuke dag."
