On the mountains the changes of autumn can already be seen…

Baroque Beauty in Bloom
We’ve got a beautiful baroque castle here in Salzburg, called Hellbrunn.
In former times the emperors used it for refreshment in summer. Today you can still visit their pleasant gardens and ponds.
Awakening Nature
Strolling through a forest in spring is always inspiring, especially when you look at nature with a macro lens. These are some of my experiments…
Winter is Coming to an End
There is still quite a lot of snow here in the Austrian mountains, but it’s slowly melting away…
Country of the Master Painters
Most Europeans travel to Amsterdam once or twice when they are young for obvious reasons.
I have never been to the capital of the Netherlands before, which I kind of regret.
The city is really charming and a paradise for lovers of fine art.
Besides whole museums devoted to master painters like Rembrandt and Van Gogh, you will find a beautiful idyllic landscape with windmills and green pastures, which makes it easy to imagine how this country has been a source of inspiration for the most skillful artists ever.
Ink Drawings with Artist Pens
These ink drawings were done with artist brush pens, using a set of landscape colours.
Landscape drawing can be tricky. How much detail do you need to draw to create an accurate picture of the place?
These small drawings show the idyllic Austrian “Salzkammergut” region.
Fall at the Lake
There is a small town situated at a dark and deep lake in the middle of Austria. If you visit this town called Hallstatt, you will find a most idyllic place, preserved and protected from the changes of time.
Try to visit it late in the day to avoid the tourist buses and walk the small path above the main lake esplanade, then you might still catch the mystic beauty of this place.
Drawing the Summer
Whenever I travel, I take some drawing material with me. These drawings were inspired by the picturesque Greek island Chios which we travelled to last year…
I’m looking forward to sketching while travelling through Nepal this summer!
