Peter's Yard

I've been meaning to visit Peter's Yard for ages having heard of its amazing Scandinavian baked goods and coffee. It turned out to be better than already good expectations, its huge windows and high ceilings made it full of bright light making the shadows and colours really interesting.

I'm working on another piece as well that should hopefully show of the shadows more. I was kicking myself for not trying the more experimental food but when I was waiting they placed a freshly baked tray of pizza right in front of me, next time.

    Nice! Fantastic work on the flowers. How large is this?

    Ea - its about 24 x 30cm, ps Scandinavian coffee houses are great, though saying that I think these guys are from Sweden.

    Very well done. Much movement and story.

    Yes, lots of great coffee houses around these days - the Scandinavians have really managed to do their own Nordic take on French cafes. I am sadly hampered by food allergies, but still have a half-baked plan to do a sketching tour of the (many!) good Aarhus cafes.

    Fantastic Wil. Anita's right - that vase of flowers is amazing, could be in a series of pics on its own.

    I'm speechless, you are so good, you have a right perception! How long does it take to you to do that beautifull watercolor and what's the size?

  25. J.Bonnet (19 months ago | reply)

    Wow! Lovely detail! A bit clumsy in value, though... that might have been your objective.

    Congratulations! you are a very talented artist.i have looked at 5 or 6 of your drawings and I am impressed! first, your drawings are very vivid because they contain many humans,contrary to many other sketchers,second, your style is crisp and clean,never too many lines, just enough to describe it,bravo! Do you sketch everyday? I bet you do!
    pls continue to treat our eyes with your drawings/sketches!
