Vienna, Austria [RESULTS]

Post by m9fred »

Fortunately, weather was fine today (after some days with heavy rains) and we took the chance to visit Schönbrunn Palace and the Gardens with our guests from Tallahassee, Florida. Mark Fletcher and Sara Chang joined our small group of sketchers on their last day of stay in Vienna.
Impressed by Schönbrunn Palace and the sights in the Gardens we walked uphill to Gloriette and enjoyed a great view over Schönbrunn Gardens, the Palace and some parts of Vienna. Besides sightseeing and chatting we didn't forget to sketch some details of the Gloriette and the gardens.
After sharing our sketchbooks Mark and Sara had to hurry up to catch the train to Salzburg early this afternoon. We all enjoyed the few hours we spent together and maybe we can meet for another sketchcrawl.

Wonderful sketches - I don't know how you chose what to draw as there were so many beautiful scenes and buildings and fountains...... you all did so well. It would be amazing to do a Sketchcrawl in another city - what a great way to meet local people.
