On the eleventh of the eleventh month I joined a very nice sketch afternoon in Amsterdam.
Well organised by Koosje Koene of the USK Amsterdam !
The sketchers met at cafe "de Jaren ".
During the trip to Amsterdam I tried to fill up a page in my A6 Pink Pig sketchbook:
Being a lefty I started at the bottem right with a small sketch of the kiosk at Rotterdam CS were i got my first coffee of the day.
Then I made up the landscap on the bottem left .
I drew that partly by memory from what I saw out of the train-window.
During the 20 minute walk from the station to the meeting place I saw a canal-bridge and I could not resist drawing it...............
The last corner of the paper was filled at the cafe.
Already a group of sketchers was at the cafe and among them there was a very nice group of sketchers from England ! It was great meeting them!
But, we got out to draw some Amsterdam !!
There is so much to see, dunno were to start😃
The next sketch I drew in two steps. I started outside, but then there was some serious rain but I found a dry place at the covered terras of cafe "Amstelhoek ". I had a nice beer ( Brand Porter, fantastic) and a view over the river, so I finished my drawing inside....
I made a small drawing of some duck-like birds in the Amsterdam "grachten" and filled the page back at cafe "de Jaren" were we gathered at the end of the afternoon to show our sketches to each other, which I think is just as fun as drawing !
