Last week I went to Berlin and its bustling and heaving with creativity, sprayed and drawn over walls and floors.
The next two from Berlin I couldnt leave out either:
This week, I bought some fantastic Faber-Castel 4 PITT artist pens in black. I've been doodling with them since they arrived yesterday and its my first dabble with watercolour pens. I have that shiny new feeling, a new toy feeling. You cant beat it. Its also got me back into pen work which is a nice change, using the pen straight onto the paper without pencil first.
I took my pens down to the park today and once again found a fantastic tree. It was a magical type tree with shoots of ivy all around the bottom and lovely textures. I think I am a little obsessed with trees at the moment to be honest:
Detoured to my mums garden and saw this lovely little pot with matching blue flowers:
Finished off with a doodle of the tree at the park with the new pens:
Next SEPIA pens *excitement*.
Last but not least whilst writing this blog we had a very crisp sunset out of the window. I havent seen it so clear for a while and seemed to place itself directly in the middle of a block of flats.....

Neat photos. Nice sketch of the tree trunk.
ReplyDeleteFascinating photos. The texture of the tree bark came out great with your new pens.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos! So, this type of artwork is everywhere in Berlin? It would be amazing to be surrounded by this everyday!
ReplyDeleteAnd your tree is wonderfully done! Enjoy your pens!
Some really interesting photos and I love your tree sketch! My favourite pen colour is sepia, it's slightly softer, which is good with watercolours.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wonderful stuff! I look forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful street art. Thanks for posting those photos.
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting post - thanks! And what a super sketch of that huge tree!
ReplyDeletelooks like a terrific, fun week - great sketches and photos.
ReplyDeleteyou asked about my camera - the shots on that post were from more than ten years ago - pre-digi for me - so i was probably using my Nikon 2000. I'm undertaking the long term project of negative and slide scanning - time consuming but satisfying. Although i look at that work and think how much better i could do it all now.
Love the sketch! The pictures are so cool... Wir sind eind Volk! We are one people ^^
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fantastic post of photos and glorious, glorious art!! Wonderful and inspiring. I also love your sketch of the tree. Amazing to me that you put pen to paper and draw! Phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteThe tree is no doodle! Fabulous drawing. I love your photos - you have a real eye. I think the Germans are very creative, from all I've seen. There is a lot going on by them in graphic design. I share your fascination with murals - we have some here in Miami, and I practically crash every time I pass one.
