Stella Jurgen Sketching in Rockwood

Rockwood Conservation Park is a gorgeous place.  It's full of interesting areas to hike and canoe while enjoying nature.  I was inspired by these little lake views and I truly enjoyed the afternoon there.  My dog Lucky enjoyed it as well and it was really hard to concentrate while he was getting anxious to go for a walk in the woods.

Stella Jurgen Sketching in Port Credit

This summer has been really good, the weather makes me want to enjoy the outdoors.  Here are two sketches that I drew a Friday morning with a group of friends.  We chose Port Credit, Mississauga, Ontario.

Stella Jurgen Sketching in Vienna, Austria

I visited Vienna, Austria with my husband on July 11 to July 18.  It was wonderful!  I loved everything about Vienna so I made a few sketches while enjoying the sites.  These were made with pen and water colours on location.

Urban Sketchers Lisbon Symposium 2011

I had the opportunity to attend the 2011 Urban Sketchers Symposium held in Lisbon, Portugal, July 21 to July 23.  It was a magnificent event and a great chance to meet people from all over the world that share the same interest.  The Sessions with professional instructors and lectures were well organized and they were very beneficial to my learning experience.  Thank you to all the instructors and thank you to all the friends I made for a wonderful time.  I hope to see you soon :)

An afternoon in Oakville, Ontario Marina

I really enjoy the ocean but where I live the closest to water is the Lake Ontario.  A few minutes from my house we have the Oakville Marina, which is very entertaining and beautiful when it's a warm day.  This Sunday I enjoyed an afternoon with my friend Helene.  We sat on a dock and drew the boats coming and going.  As we were relaxing and enjoying ourselves, two families of gueese came by and visited us.  The little ones were so cute following their parents.  I tried to capture them on my ink and watercolour drawing above.

Urban Sketches - Chicago

I had the pleasure to visit Chicago in the summer of 2010.  I was inspired by the architecture and the atmosphere.  I sat down and drew what I saw.  It was a wonderful experience.  Stella Jurgen

A Trip to San Francisco

Hello everyone, I visited San Francisco in April this year.  The flowers were in bloom and the air was so warm comparing to where I live here in Canada.  I had the chance to sketch some of the view as we visited the city by foot.  Here are some pencil drawings.  I am looking forward to meeting you at the Lisbon Symposium.
