Waves East of Barbados

Waves East of Barbados, a photo by manfred schloesser on Flickr.

Almost there. 250 nautical miles east of Barbados on the 9 December 2013. The wind was increasing and the waves coming from behind lifted the boat but went smooth under it. A feeling like going down a ski slope without a ski. The waves rolling in look gigantic and you hope you do not get wet.

Transatlantic to Barbados 2013, a photo by manfred schloesser on Flickr.

Almost in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you get a feeling how small the humans are. The speed of a sailing boat with 8 knots is almost equal to the speed of a stage coach in the 19th century. Sketched on location 2 December 2013. The colorful sail is a gennaker of 88 square meters (about 1000 square feet). Our position was 15 degree 34´North and 040 degree 5´West (Take a look in Google Earth).

Sketched with pen, ink and watercolor while the boat was rocking and rolling.

***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***

Urban Sketchers Elects New Executive Board and Advisory Board

Urban Sketchers is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to raising the artistic, storytelling, and educational value of location drawing, promoting its practice and connecting people around the world who draw on location where they live and travel.

On December 9, 2013,  the Urban Sketchers (USk) board of directors reorganized itself into two separate boards: the Executive Board and the Advisory Board.

The Executive Board consists of officers and committee directors who work together to carry out the business and mission of the organization on a day-to-day basis.

The Advisory Board is made up of people with a wide array of experience, knowledge, viewpoints and skills. This group, which includes many former members of the original USk Board, represents the international, multidisciplinary nature of USk. Its members act as advisors to the Executive Board and as advocates for USk’s mission.

With these teams in place, we look forward to a new year of “showing the world one drawing at time".

Transatlantic with sailing yacht Doertita 2013

Transatlantic with sailing yacht Doertita 2013, a photo by manfred schloesser on Flickr.

This sketch I made on the 2nd December at latitude 15 degree 34`North and 40 degree 5 `West in the middle of the Atlantic. We were three guys and it took us 22 days from the Canary Islands to Barbados in the Caribbean. We saw only two other sailing ships, only water, flying fish, clouds and dolphins.
The ship was rolling all the time, so I started with soft pencil and then went under deck to the fine work while trying to hold everything. It was never more difficult to draw for me.
The boat is a forty feet yacht and she carried us safely to Barbados.

Berlin im November

Hier ein paar Skizzen von meinem Novemberwochenende in Berlin.
Schön wars, es hat mich gefreut, mal die Berliner Sketcher kennzulernen, auch wenn ich sie nicht sonderlich treffend zeichnete.

Der Sketchcrawl in der Humboldtbox

Ein Abstecher ins Buchstabenmuseum, das gerade renoviert wurde, aber inzwischen wieder offen hat.

Und schließlich die Rückfahrt, die sich dank der tatkräftigen Mithilfe der Deutschen Bahn um drei Stunden verlängerte...

Kurzstrecke

2 mal je 2 1-Stationen Fahrten in der Berliner S-Bahn. Gesichter stehlen im Zug und auf den Bahnsteigen. Ein Monumentaler Reinigungs-Mann besteigt am Westkreuz die Ringbahn.

Bestempelte U-Bahnfahrer

Bin mit D. und P. in der Ausstellung "Arte Postale" gewesen. Da gab es auch Stempel, die man benutzen durfte, was uns verleitete, wie die Kinder wild drauflos zu stempeln... Ein paar Seiten bestempelt und danach in der U-Bahn und im Café reingezeichnet.
