Loket

 Loket is a small town in Czech Republic. 

The old city is built on a rock and is surrounded on three sides by the Ohre River. The town center itself features Loket Castle - a 12th-century gothic castle.

A sketchtour event took place there, organised by Jan Vitek from Prag. There was a small group of 8 sketchers + 6 partners and myself (with my husbend) ! 






The castle had been sketched from all directions:

from our room in the Vila Hana,



from the street,



from under the bridge,




and from the castle yard.




The town is very small and colorful. There are maybe four to five streets in the old city.
My mood was sometimes for colors,




and sometimes I enjoyed drawing with a pencil.






But the best of all was hanging around with other sketchers. I have met some new friends, heard many interesting live stories, we where sitting together in cafes, drawing without talking to each other, laughed a lot and had good meals.





It was just wonderful!
