Didn’t go far for today’s drawing session on a day off for Pentecost Monday (Whit Monday) - sketched a top section of a corner house and tall trees in Prenzlauer Berg. After that a walk to and through Mauerpark.



Went to the west, took a late afternoon walk from Stuttgarter Platz to Schloss Charlottenburg, and sketched its dome from a bench with a front/side view as the heat of the day subsided.
Got out this afternoon to sketch the Volksbühne theater building and logo sculpture on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz from a bench viewpoint I found last week.
While sitting out front of the Neue Nationalgalerie museum watching the sunset I sketched a colorful sky study in my first attempt at the watercolor wet in wet technique.


Sketched flowers which look to be Geranium macrorrhizum ‘Ingwersen’s Variety’ from a bench on the corner square. They were attracting many bees. Afterwards took a walk under dramatic clouds and got to see the sun setting.


Watching 70th Eurovision Song Contest tonight - time for the points…
Viktoria-Luise-Platz was the subject of today’s drawing session. Sketched the trees and apartment house behind the gushing fountain from a bench among the lush fragrance of low lilacs. Then walked towards the sunset after browsing at KaDeWe and dining outdoors.


Missed our local streethenge sundown, late by a couple days this year (after last year’s on time cloudiness), but the view was still intense, however brief.
