Drawing this intersection broke my brain. I had to warp everything a bit to fit it on the page while keeping the proportions correct. My brain's GPU was barely sufficient. Anyway, the restaurant on this corner serves amazing moules-frites on Fridays. #watercolors #artstr #plebchain #grownostr #art

That's what you see when crossing Wettsteinbrücke on a sunny morning

Only one month ago, the garden in front of Pauluskirche, where the big magnolias were in bloom, was brimming with people taking selfies, having professional photo shoots, streaming live on socials, and getting married. Now, the magnolias are just ordinary trees with leaves; the flowerbeds have been dug out, awaiting the next batch, and even the weather today is not great. The building itself remains outstanding, though.

The building standing at one end of Schützenmattpark was designed at the beginning of the 20th century to house a police station. Today it has been converted into a sort of children's daycare, I suppose, but the “Polizeiposten” carved in large letters on the façade is still there.

We are at peak magnolia season, they are blooming everywhere.

I finally managed to color my latest drawing
#watercolors #art #artstr #plebchain #grownostrI've experienced a brutal creator block recently. Since last summer I was unable to find in myself the spark, the impulse, the trigger, for drawing. I started wondering if I would ever be able to draw again. Why? Dunno. Yesterday I went out, in the sunny morning, and as soon as I saw a nice place, I didn't let myself think, sat down and finally draw... What a relief. But now I have to rebuild the habit. #art #sketch #plebchain #grownostr
I had a taste of wonderful hospitality and spent a peaceful day amongst friends. I'm gonna miss them all... #art #watercolors #plebchain #grownostr #artstr
I love Iffley village. Since I discovered it, I often go there during a walk. The stone walls, the thatched roofs, the trees: It is really special.

Walking into Exeter College, heading to the Fellows’ Garden, and climbing the stairs to the wall gives you, in my opinion, the best view over Radcliffe Square. I didn't climb over the wall or sit on the famous bench over there, since it was already occupied. I just stayed in the garden below and sketched the Radcliffe Camera (again) as seen from down there.

It's not always easy for someone like me—who isn't affiliated with the university and doesn’t look like he might be—to get into the inner quad of a college. This time, at Brasenose, I had to try twice. On my first attempt, I was gently turned away. The next day, I returned with a friend (the one who commissioned this drawing), and I was allowed in. I spent about an hour sitting in the quad sketching, undisturbed. It was a lovely spot, with the Radcliffe Camera rising in the background just beyond the college entrance.

Punting is a quintessential Oxford summer activity. My visiting family didn’t trust me with the task, so they voted me out and hired a chauffeur to drive the boat instead. I was a bit offended, but I still enjoyed the ride.

I’ll admit, I’ve never been inside this pub. But I cycle past it every time I go to the gym, and I really like how the building looks when it’s lit a certain way.

The infamous junction where rush hour traffic bottlenecks: The Plain. Three main roads from the east meet at this roundabout and converge to cross Magdalen Bridge into the city center. Navigating this roundabout by bicycle is dangerous—too many have already died. I always keep my eyes wide open, watching in all directions.

Wisteria is blooming all over the city, and it's a delight to the eyes. Every house looks better with wisteria vines climbing its walls.

The tower of St Mary is my favorite among Oxford's spires. I sat among parked bicycles at the corner of Brasenose Street and sketched the view of St Mary, illuminated by the setting sun on a beautiful day. As it turned out, free-handing straight lines is difficult.

Wandering around central Oxford in this amazing sunny weather is so nice. I stumbled on a cool view of the back of the Sheldonian Theatre, with those cartoonish oversized emperor heads. Even spotted the moon in the daytime sky.
