Sepia Spell – Flight of Stairs

  This is one of the four entrances to the park I´ve introduced you to last week. The Koernerpark is situated below street level, so you have to walk down these beautiful flight of stairs to get to the garden area. Somehow this does always make me feel like a movie star 😉   Also,

A Chinese Character

  This new portrait study gives you a hint as to where I want to travel to someday 😉 I´ve always been fascinated by Asia, especially China and Japan and remember with startling clarity giving impressions of a japanese dancer before family members when I was very young. In order to do so, I borrowed

Sepia Spell – Wedding Bells

  I stumbled over this lovely scene while I was enjoying a walk through one of my favourite parks here in Berlin, the Körnerpark. It´s a very small park compared to many others but it has been beautifully designed (around 1912-1916) and reminds me everytime of one place or another in northern Italy. It´s situated

Animal Quick Sketching

  The summer holidays started this week and the whole family went to the Berlin Zoo to celebrate! 🙂 We had lots of fun, fantastic weather and stuffed ourselves with delicious ice cream! It was also a little premiere for me, as I tried myself the first time on animal quick sketching. It came as

Sepia Spell – Light and Dark

  Do you remember the Grotto I was showing you pictures of a couple of weeks ago? Here you can see the hidden back entrance. 😉   Also, you might have noticed the slight change of my Sepia related post from “Sepia Sunday” to “Sepia Spell”. That´s because I´m not sure if I´m going to

Takin´Care of Business

Dear fellow-bloggers and friends! 🙂 The last couple of months have been a real blast for me here on WordPress! I´ve met so many wonderful people with fantastic blogs that I love to follow and I am so glad to call them my friends now. 🙂 (You know who you are, don´t you? 😉 )

Mastering the Wheel

  Have you ever watched that wonderful movie “Ghost” with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze? If so, you surely remember that scene where they´re sitting together at the potter´s wheel 😉 If not, let me just say: it´s been quite a sensual experience they shared 😉 But what is more important: it realls looks sooo

A Bashful Beauty

  I sketched this portrait with Audrey Hepburn in mind, an amazing actress I´ve always admired very much, not only for her stunning and elf-like beauty but for her tremendous skills as a dancer and actress. I freely admit that this drawing does not really look like her…I will have to practice more to get

New Life

    It´s not easy sighting those little chicks living in a pond nearby my home. The reed is very cleverly used as camouflage. But early in the morning when there are not many people around, you can be lucky and catch a glimpse of them.  

Sepia Sunday – Glimpse

  As I was crossing the Friedrichs Bridge to get to the Museum Island here in Berlin, I accidentally dropped something on the ground. Normally that´s nothing I would care telling you about, but this time, whilst retrieving my possession, I heard a honking tourist steamer coming nearer. So I crawled closer to one of
