USk Luxembourg was invited to do a sketchcrawl on Place d'Armes in Luxembourg city by the organisers of the Lëtzebuerg, dat ass Vakanz! fair, the kick-off of the tourist season. Many people were out in the sunshine this April afternoon and several joined in to sketch, using material provided by the organisers of the fair.
Below are some of the sketches made during the afternoon by some of our sketchers. You can find more on our Facebook group Urban Sketchers Luxembourg and Instagram account uskluxembourg.

Our visit to the police museum was a real discovery. We were warmly welcomed by a very friendly policeman, one of the volunteers who run the museum.
The large sous-terrain contains a wealth of props illustrating the history of Luxembourg's police and gendarmes. But there are also a large number of objects from foreign corps.
You can sniff the atmosphere of the afternoon in this youtube video
Quite a lot of people turned up, eager to to draw - familiar faces and some newcomers too (welcome to our group!)
It was extremely difficult to choose an item or scene to sketch. Way too much choice! Shall we sketch a remarkable scene, a mannekin in a fantastic costume or a shiny detail?
Here the (partial) harvest of the afternoon. It does not show all the sketches made that afternoon as some participants had to leave early.
And here some individual results:

Our February sketch meeting on a grey Sunday in February was a great success! A large group of happy urban sketchers spent the afternoon in the bar L'Observatoire, overlooking Luxembourg city. The bar is on the 8th floor of the Sofitel Grand Ducal. Thanks to the barman Antonio and his team for their patience with us taking over the bar!
We sketched the view from the large windows as you can see below:
