I have finally made a sketching group here in Delft and we have already had 3 events! Hopefully I will be able to sketch more every month. Because of the sketch-group I am also meeting a lot of interesting urban sketchers from Rotterdam and Hague so things are going pretty cool. I will quickly put in the sketches I forgot to update the blog with.
The first sketching session near the New Church. The session ended with some lovely apple pies and coffee.
Delft springs to life on Saturdays with its flea market around the canals in the city center! The flea market promises lovely subjects of people selling old antiques, flowers, the famous stroopwaffles and much more quirky second hand stuff ready to be sketched. For the sketchers interested in buildings, the area around Burgwal has quite many old houses, cafes and the Catholic church for sketching too.
Sketching at Oostpoort
Surrounded by canals, Oostpoort is the picturesque old Eastern Gate (and the only surviving gate) at the southeast corner of the old town. Built around 15th-16th century, Oostport is an interesting example of brick gothic architecture complemented with a classic white drawbridge, in short- a perfect subject for sketching.
