Linz, Austria (Results)

Post by Janna Wega »

Hallo
the Sketchers from Linz met at 1pm at the railway station. There were four of us, two caught a cold and couldn´t come.
We decided to do a hard tour and started outside at the platforms, where sure were beautyful scenes to catch, but ... it was pretty cold... I therefore had to finish the scond sketch (the red and blue one) at home. We all wanted back into the warm.

The next stop was the main hall of the station wich was warmer, but very crowded and people there were pretty nosey, asked stupid questions or made importunate comments. Two teenagers even wanted to offend us by throwing coins into the watercup and treating us like beggars.

So we decided to leave the station an look for a quiet a place.....we went to a bookstore. The bookstore was really comfortable after all the annoyances at the station. We stayed until 6pm.

I really admire you for having faced such a terrible cold to do the Sketchcrawl! And your drawings are so interesting, they have a nordic, almost expressionistic style to my eyes!

Thank you very much!
the funny thing about drawing in the cold ist that people look more like a marshmallow than a human being ;-)

Hahaha, love the remark about the marshmallows... this is so true!
Unbelievable that you were treated so rudely at the main station :( but at least you got some money as compensation, even if the coins were wet :wink: Very pretty sketches, thanks for sharing!
