October 2024 in the Lëtzebuerg City Museum

Our October meeting in the Lëtzebuerg City Museum was a real success! Many sketchers joined our meeting for the first time, and many sketches were produced there. 

Below is selection of sketches from the museum.

After the museum, we had a very nice Drink & Draw in the D'Gelle Klack. 

Thanks to all participants!

Ein, Zwei, Polizei… Results of the March meeting of USkLux at the Policemusee

 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:

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.

See you next month! & next year!

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!

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

Drink & draw …

…. in the cosy bar “Le Trianon” at the iconic Grand Hotel Cravat Luxembourg.

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!
