Schlolsskirche, Cottbus

I recently started studying Urban Design at the Brandenburg Technical University based in a small and quaint town of Cottbus, around an hour from Berlin. I am keeping open and sucking in the experience. A few days back I finally had the chance to pick up my sketchbook and explore the city. Here is what I drew;

This sketch if of Schlolsskirche (the castle church), which as the name suggests was a church, which was converted to a Synagogue last year. This conversion is the first in the state of Brandenburg since 1938. It gives me goosebumps to see structures that have witnessed history.

You can read more about the church/now synagogue here. More sketches to follow.

Brown : People and Places I

A dear friend of mine recently gifted me a sketchbook she bought from Indonesia. Now since the two most popular things in Indonesia are the cinnamon cigarettes and batik, it seemed normal for them to wrap the sketchbook in beautiful batik print. The sketchbook has brown recycled paper, which makes it even more interesting to use. The rough grains of the paper make it an apt medium to sketch on with a pencil. Though, I am uploading a few sketches I made with my pen recently. There are more sketches which I will upload eventually.
