For the last years the Luxemburg Christmas Market has been
the traditional meeting point for our December sketchcrawl. This year it was freezing with a bright blue sky. We were
quite a big group this time - welcome to the newcomers!
Warmly dressed with gloves and hats we explored the
different places of sketching interest: the colourful stalls at the Place
d’Armes and the Place de la Consitiution, and the skating ring at the Place
Guillaume. I tried to capture the clumsy movements of some
inexperienced skaters:
A band of musicians dressed as Father Christmas braved the
cold to keep us company:
When sketching became impossible due to frozen fingers and
toes we went for a hot drink. Our favourite bar ‘Kaale Kaffi’ was too crowded
for our group, but we went to a bar next door to warm up, take the' family photo', drink + draw,
and enjoy the company of fellow-sketchers.
