I know there is a way to join together in Photoshop the following elements of this Hauptbanhof sketch, made in a Maruman accordion sketchbook, but I don't know how... right at the moment. I must learn!
Here's a digital image of the whole thing:
The implicit good news is that the Maruman folding sketchbook IS still available online (at Jerry's Artarama and other places)--yay!!! These have red covers, unlike the aqua ones I used to use, but the paper is the same! So, I can carry on with my favorite little travel sketchbooks.. whew.
My daughter and I met extremely nice and uber-talented sketcher (one of my very favorites) Rolf Schroeter in Berlin. He has very generously given her lots of good advice about living in Berlin, for which Cecelia and I are both so grateful. It helps me to know that she has such a connection already. I drew Rolf while he and Cecelia were talking and here he is:
Now, more Berlin!
So there, a few sketches from a very short trip. There are more, but these will do for sharing---they're pretty typical Laurelines subjects, except maybe for the Hauptbanhof one, which is of a type I've begun to do since I became a correspondent for Urban Sketchers a couple of years ago. It's nice to spread your wings.
Love the gray morning park with the odd-colored car (another trees and car picture--why do I like these so?) Pegasi with car: rather humorous, really.

Looks exactly like I remember Berlin. Only I didn't do nearly as many sketches, unfortunately. Lovely work!

I love the way that you sketch so many different subjects on one page. So much to see and full of interest too! I love them all but particularly the utensils in the pot, the chandelier and the sketch with those lovely lamp posts and statues :0)
