WHY GO?

• Join us, the afternoon of Sunday, the 15th of March the König-Louise-Straße Bus Stop near the Waldbaude Snack Bar (Clayallee 91, 14195 Berlin). We’ll be meeting up with fellow Sketchers & Artists to practice our quick sketching skills while enjoying nature, we’ll be walking a short 2-3 kilometers into Grunewald, and along the Grunewaldsee. Nature is slowly waking up from its winter slumber, with moss, ivy and pine being the primary shades of green you’ll see. We’re taking this opportunity to do a series of quick sketches focused on shading. You can draw what you choose, or even bring a camera to do some photography as well. As the trees are mostly still without their leaves, we’ll be focusing on details like moss covered logs, small wooden bridges, a sandbar along the lake and reeds growing at the lake shore. You will also have the opportunity to sketch a scene of the Jagdschloos Grunewald, seen best from across the lake due to ongoing construction.
• If this is your first time sketching or 100th time sketching, you can find subjects that are right for you. You don’t need to be a professional at all! You should just want to practice your sketching skills while meeting new people, and hopefully sketching a bit better than you did the day before.
• If this is your first time to Grunewaldsee, please be aware many locals have their dogs off leash in the area.
• We will be stopping to do multiple 15 min sketches with the goal of improving our quick sketching skills. Quick sketching is a foundational sketching skill that seeks to simplify a scene while communicating the necessary details for a viewer to see and feel a scene or detail. This weekend, we’ll be focusing especially on the art of shading, and how it can be used to add a little extra pop to our sketches. These are sketching skills that can be applied across artistic mediums.
• Bring your preferred drawing medium for short quick sketches, and meet up with fellow nature sketchers. There are benches in the area, but you may wish to bring a small chair or cushion to make things more comfortable.
• The drawings are purely for fun, and to get to know other artists and hobbyists in the area!
• (This meet-up does not include entry to the Jagdschloos Grunewald)
• Join us at 13:00 at the König-Louise-Straße Bus Stop (115, X10, N10, X83) near the Waldbaude Snack Bar (Clayallee 91, 14195 Berlin) with our host - Elizabeth, we’ll get to know one another and then set out as a group to sketch along the Grunewaldsee, it’s an out-and-back route along a lake with several opportunities for sketching, conversation and relaxing. We will sketch from 13:00-16:00 and then return to our meeting spot.
