It's summer holidays, so we're taking a trip to neighbouring Trier. Trier's old town has thousands of wonderful nooks and crannies to sketch. That's why we are making a whole day of it!
The June meeting of Urban Sketchers Luxembourg took place in the Rousegaart op de Rondellen, in Luxembourg city center. From here, we could enjoy the view of Grund framed by local Luxembourgish roses.

For our May 2023 meeting of Urban Sketchers Luxembourg we had the chance to sketch in the quiet and beautiful garden of Domaine Bricherhaff in Neudorf/Kirchberg.
A prominent resident of Bricherhaff from 1953 to 1955 was Jean Monnet, at that time the first president of the "Higher Authority" (Haute Autorité de la Communauté européenne du charbon et de l'acier ). Currently it is the residence of the Dutch Ambassador in Luxembourg.

On 2 April 2023 the Urban Sketchers Luxembourg met to sketch at the magnificent university library in Belval/Esch - the Luxembourg Learning Centre.
You can see the results of that fine afternoon in this short film (thank you Ekaterina for the initial film shots, and thank you all participants for your sketches).
The library is an extraordinary place to sketch, inside and outside. Maybe a Sunday afternoon during the Easter holidays is not really the best time to see the library in full swing. But we could appreciate the calm atmosphere to concentrate on our sketching. Definitely a place to go back!

The library closes at 5 pm on Sundays, so we went for a drink&share&draw at the Monument’s cafe. We mostly did the drink&share part though…;-)
See you at our next meeting on 7 May!
