Re: Sketching in Switzerland

Van Gogh in Basel was nice! I definitely recommend it if anyone has the time to make it out there. Also, I visited Florence again and was able to gather some more inspiration from the Medici Chapels. Here's a sketch from the trip next to an older one I am more proud of:


Left - Dawn + Dusk, pen (quick sketch in museum, standing), 2009
Right - David, pencil (from photo, sitting), 2006 > used to only use pencil... of course, it's cleaner. =P

Well, now that I am back, it's time to try to figure out a good time for everyone. I am thinking of having the first meeting the 2nd week of June.

Possible locations are:
> Zurich Zoo - http://www.zoo.ch/xml_1/internet/en/.../d409/f412.cfm
> Kunsthaus Museum - http://www.kunsthaus.ch/en/informati...es/collection/
Note: Wed. happens to be a day where entrance is free to the Kunstmuseum to the collection. Limits to media (i.e. no photograhy, paints, etc.)

For dates, it would be Wed (Kunsthaus only), Sat and Sun. Please input your availability here: http://www.doodle.com/teruaymr6kxur6s4

As said before, family/friends are welcome too. And most importantly, this is informal, meaning that you may stay for however long or short that you'd like. 2 hrs was just an easy way to split it up and seems about right. Even just coming to get inspiration for a personal project would be possible. Hope to have the first gathering of artists soon!

Ciao,
Edward
