Gothenburg, Sweden [RESULT]

Post by Tipulida »

Here’s my report from my very first sketch crawl, since I was alone I got at lot work done!

My choosen location for the event was Masthuggskyrkan in Gothenburg, a church built in 1914 on a hill top. The church can be seen from almost everywhere in the city, including my kitchen window 4,5 km away.

The church itself is a massiv and impressiv building, but I brought to small sketchbooks so I never succeeded in getting the whole building on one piece of paper.

I havn’t been up here for many years so I didn’t really know what to expect, but it turned out to be a popular place for tourists. There where many photographs taken, I will be in at least a half dozen of japanes photoalbums :-)
Later on when I moved a bit away from the church to get another angel I had a nice talk with a local "gentleman". He frankly stated "I can see what that is depicting ..."

So sketching on location seems to bee interacting with lots of different people you normally don't.
I was out for about 4 hours, sunny and a little windy - a perfect summerday, and had a great time! I'm already waiting for the next.

Congratulations on doing your first sketch crawl. Looks like a great place to sketch and you have a nice style. Yes, you do get to interact with other people while you sketch. Many of them often stop to look and comment.

Not bad. I'm also based in Gothenburg, Send me a message if you want to meet up for the next SketchCrawl. Here is a sketch from a friend of mine from central Gothenburg https://secure.flickr.com/photos/743235 ... 314418668/

Thank you all for nice comments :wave:
Mats - I'll post here on sketchcrawl if I do the next crawl, which I really hope. It would be great with company.
