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.

A sketch depicts a brick building partially obscured by tall trees, with a handwritten note in the bottom corner.Pink wild roses are blooming among green leaves in a sunlit garden.A lush garden features tall stalks of purple catmint flowers and dense green foliage next to a gravel path.

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.

A soft watercolor painting with blue and yellow hues, labeled as sunset study with a date and location noted.The modern glass and metal building of Mies van der Rohe’s Neue Nationalgalerie with a light sign displaying BRANCUSI is partially obscured by a tree in the foreground with quarter Moon and late sunset sky above.

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.

A watercolor sketch depicts an urban scene with yellow apartment building, 3 green trees, and a prominent fountain in the foreground.A cityscape features tall buildings against a vibrant evening sky with trees and street lights in the foreground.

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.

A sunlit street is flanked by parked cars, with sunlight streaming through the trees and casting a warm glow.
