Switzerland sketchbook Part 6: Basel and Lucerne

Here is the second to last installment of my recent trip to Switzerland (October 2014). Remind me to draw the next sketchbook journal in pencil, okay? Ink takes entirely too long.

Forgive the spelling mistakes, smudges, folds, and missing words. I'll fix them later when I actually have time to put these together into a book of some kind. For now, enjoy! Leave some love. This blog gets lonely.

Switzerland Sketchbook Part 4: Frieburg, Germany

Switzerland Sketchbook Part 3: Strasbourg, France

The day I visited Strasbourg, France it was raining so I didn't have many opportunities to sit and draw. Most of what I drew here I did later while on the train back to Basel or the following morning. I wish I had another day or two in Strasbourg. I felt like I didn't get to see enough of this beautiful city.

Switzerland sketchbook Part 1 and 2: Basel

Recently I tagged along with my wife on her business trip to Basel, Switzerland. Basel (pronounced Baa-zel) sits on Switzerland's north-northwest corner bordering France and Germany. While she worked I wandered the cities of Basel, Strasbourg in France, Freiburg in Germany and Lucerne. Prior to this trip I had only been to Italy so I made the best of visiting Central Europe in only 1 short week.

Here is the unedited, un-fact-checked, typo filled part 1 and 2 of the sketchbook journal I kept while there. I will post the rest eventually. There should be 7 parts in all.

Above is one of the many places I sat to draw. This one being the Marketplatz in Basel.
