When Bettina Ruppert von USk Hohenlohe organizes a meetup, it means: don’t miss it! This time, we went once again to Dinkelsbühl — a beautiful, colorful, and compact old town with many old metal shop signs, numerous towers, and of course plenty of tourists.
On Sunday, the Furries from Ulm and the surrounding area gathered for a parade through the town. One of them wanted to be sketched — and I was very happy to do it.
On the second day, Bettina Ruppert had arranged for us — around 40 sketchers — to draw the old wagons in the hall of the Die Kinderzeche children’s and local heritage festival. The atmosphere was great, everyone was deeply focused, and although there were so many people in the hall, it was remarkably quiet — until Marion suddenly asked, “Are you all still there?”
After the hall, I wanted to draw this sculpture of the Kinderzeche, but it was standing in the shade and I was too cold. So in the end, a quick sketch was enough. The Dinkelbauer, on the other hand, was beautifully lit by the sun.
There is no meetup organized by Bettina Ruppert without a night sketch session.
To round things off, we had some wonderfully fun drink & draw evenings.
Thank you, Bettina Ruppert, for these beautiful, cheerful, and wonderfully organized sketching days!
