Out and about in Munich

As spring had a hard time chasing away the winter chill this year there were only few days to go out sketching for a while. Thankfully there is an abundance of exhibitions to go and see.

St.Max on a sunny day in spring from the banks of the river Isar. 

Same river, different spot: old public bathhouse Müllersche´s Volksbad.

Propylaeum at Königsplatz. plenty of museums in that area. One of them containing ... these ...

All plaster cast, so not real originals, but good for studies without bunches of muggle tourists obstructing the view or some grumpy attendant chasing artists away. Nice collection, friendly and FREE (so I also took my students in there). Classical training so to speak. Always good for a rainy day!

But eventually spring gave up on us and we went straight to summer. Pavillion at Hofgarten, the park of the old residence, just off Odeonsplatz. Always some musician in there!

And to cool off: 

... try and capture those folks on the artificial surf at the southern end of the english gardens, Eisbachwelle. Nice exercise, not just for my students.
