Next sketch meeting with Urban Sketchers Luxembourg: 7 January 2024

This is the invitation to the first sketch meeting with Urban Sketchers Luxembourg in 2024!

Join us in discovering the deeper levels of:

MNAHA; Musée national d'archéologie, d'histoire et d'art

Marché-aux-Poissons | L-2345 Luxembourg (link https://www.mnaha.lu)

We are going to explore the pre-historic section of the museum.

Let’s meet in the entrance of the museum at 14:00 on January 7, 2024. If you arrive later, you can find us downstairs in the prehistoric section. The entrance to the museum is free if you only visit the permanent collection.

At 16:30, we meet again in the entrance for photos of the sketches and the group.

Everyone is welcome to a drink and draw afterwards, to raise a glass to the new year!

Very welcome, old and new sketchers!

Sketch shopping spree: results of the December 2023 meeting of USkLuxembourg

 A visit to a shopping mall can also be a creative moment! See this short Youtube film

Beware though, shopping malls are private, not public spaces. We had to ask permission to organise a sketch meeting at the Cloche d’Or Shopping Centre. But the Cloche d’Or people were very friendly and even gave us a free parking ticket. 

With a wind chill temperature of -7°C we were very happy to sketch inside,  and indeed, we were certainly not lacking in interesting subjects.

The big spaces and architectural lines were challenging, but very inspiring.

But also some picturesque details caught our attention.

Confessing our sketching sins - Results of the sketchcrawl at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg city

 On a dark, rainy and windy November afternoon the Urban Sketchers Luxembourg sought refuge in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg City. 

We worked in meditation, concentration and silence… 

And here a short Youtube film about the meeting. 

We were happy to welcome some newcomers and young sketchers!

Here you can see the individual results:

Quite a big turnout -  and just enough light in the narthex to take a group photo.

After a creative and spiritual afternoon we had a chat and a drink in a more mundane environment:

See you at our next meeting in December!

Sketch at the Cathedral Notre-Dame in Luxembourg, 5 November 2023

Sketchers of all levels are welcome to our next meeting! It will take place as follows:

Time: 5 November at 2 pm 

Place: Cathedral Notre-Dame, in Luxembourg city. 

It is a remarkable instance of late Gothic style, revealing various components and ornaments inspired by Renaissance style.

Let’s meet at the entrance to the Cathedral in rue Notre-Dame. There are several entrances, this is the main one. 

We are allowed to sketch inside but please remember it is a place of worship, so remain respectful of that. 

At 4:30 pm we gather again at the entrance, to put stamps on our sketches, and take the photos, before going to the Drink&Draw! 

Results of sketchcrawl 1st October 2023

On the first Sunday in October, Urban Sketchers Luxembourg visited the Musée de Calèches Grande-Duchesse Charlotte in Peppange, Luxembourg. This museum has a large collection of well-kept horse carriages and old-time equipment. You can do an online visit here: https://www.musee-rural.lu/p/46 

The weather was fantastic for an October afternoon and we could sketch both outside and inside the museum.

A visit to the Schuberfouer on 3 September attracted a group of sketchers, who enjoyed the weather and the view of all attractions. Here are some of their sketches!
