Very good spacial sense about this and good perspective Derek.

Good sketch (grit your teeth and bear it Dennis)

What a cracking result Derek, well done for getting out there.

Thanks John, Wille and Alan

Not much sense of the German tat market, but a nice town scene well drawn ,everything in proportion and a good perspective. I would have a tendencies to rush it , sitting in the cold ,but you haven't . Well done and kudos for venturing out there.

Good for you Derek, hope you have a few more to show us! Super sense of scale.

Brilliant piece Derek. I note your description and the typical Christmas scene.

Yes Derek, well done going out to do this ( although I bet it's almost tropical down there! ). Hope you had a warming drink afterwards.

Love this pen and wash. It's real life, as it is!

Thank you Andre, Michael, Fiona, Marjorie and Louise. The market was on the pedestrianised area the other side of the historic monument and a lot of the group delved into it for their sketching, good too. We arranged to meet as always at a good cafe where coffee etc was imbibed.

Another class piece Derek

This morning, raw and grey, at the Bargate in the city. Awful German tat "Christmas" market which I avoided. Crowds, funfair, zip wire with Santa, loud music. Abour 20 of us, sat standing sketching all aspects. As usual I don't choose the obvious or pretty scene. Zip wire top right.luckily going the other way. Silly decorations evident.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
