A quiet, bookish afternoon at the BNL: November 2022 meeting of Urban Sketchers Luxembourg

For their November meeting the Urban Sketchers Luxembourg sketched at the Bibliothèque nationale de Luxembourg in the Kirchberg quarter.

In the last week of October I had done some location scouting, to explore the building and its interior …


Unfortunately the weather was (almost) too chilly to sketch the outside of the building. 

Some of us challenged the cold wind…

And others sketched the BNL from the shelter of their home …

Inside the BnL every sketcher found his or her perfect quiet spot in one of the many rooms of the library.



And the results echoed the serenity of the reading rooms.




Here some of the individual sketches:
