Greeting Cards • Meet the ArtistsOnce a month members of the Urban Sketching group meet to create art. Over the past few years the Urban Sketchers have produced stunning images some of which you will discover in these cards. In the warmer months they meet at locations around town to capture the essence of the city, from famous landmarks to tranquil settings in nature. They capture the artists’ personal perceptions with pencil and watercolor on paper; reflecting a range of artistic views and levels. In the winter they meet in cafes or an atelier in Bonn. In the winter atelier, they experiment with different techniques and learn from each other, as we have some very talented women in the club! Beginners are welcomed and provide inspiration with the different ways they find to approach and create beautiful art. Please join us! Take a few hours away from everyday matters to express your artistry as you create in a supportive environment. Afterwards we’ll enjoy a chat over coffee or tea. If you have questions about Urban Sketching, please contact Martina Mülhburger at sketching@aiwccologne.org.

| Martina Mühlburger, Activity LeaderI have been doing acrylic painting, life drawing and urban sketching for many years now and love sharing fun and experience in this wonderful Urban Sketching group. Art becomes a greater passion in my life every year and there is so much more to learn. In normal life I teach Digital Design and English at HHEK College in Bonn, where we have found a spacious atelier for our winter sessions. Here is the space to learn new techniques and when I discover something new, I love to share it with the group e.g. Jelly printing, collage… |

| Karen SchmidtI have loved drawing, painting and being creative all my life, though, at times it took a backseat to family and work commitments. Art was my main subject at teacher training college and I have attended diverse art courses over the years and still do. I love experimenting. In recent years, I have exhibited with my art group at a variety of venues. Urban Sketching is a new experience, working outside in view of general passers-by, using a small sketchbook, limited tools and trying to capture a complex urban view in a lively and interesting way. It’s challenging but great fun. |

| Blažena MetzI have been painting since I can remember. I actively started with watercolor in 1995 in England where I met Mr. Painter, an artist in the Brentwood Art Society. Here I learned many different techniques and styles. I focused mostly on oil painting and watercolors. We then moved to Athens - the perfect place for every artist! Upon returning to Germany in 2004, I started acrylic painting. It is a pleasure to be part of Martina’s Urban Sketching group! |
