Germany, Jersey, and G+

The next page of my Germany sketch journal is here:

For a week of our time in Germany, Morgan and I were at a math conference in Irsee. Well, he was at a math conference. I hung out with the mathematicians at meals, snack times, and in the pubs. Anyhow, the conference was hosted at a converted cloister. In the evenings, dinner was in the cellar and that's where this suit of armor was. I drew it while Morgan mingled with the other mathematicians and then colored it while we were at the pub later that night.

Currently, I've been working on my drawing for this month's Virtual Paintout. The location this month is the island of Jersey. I just took a quick photograph of my drawing instead of scanning it, so the paper is less bright-white than it should be.

I'm hoping to finish it over the course of the next day or so. I'm working on it a little at a time, not rushing it.

Finally, I've joined Google+ and I'm excited about its possibilities for finding and sharing with different communities of people, including artists. If I add you to my circles, that's why - just a way to facilitate sharing things to an appropriate audience.

I'm curious how the second one turns out. It starts out very promising. Good work!

Nice work Ursula - and you've inspired me to try the Virtual Paintout idea with your lovely sketch from Jersey (I've been there many times).
