A Week in Orange

Cathrin Gressieker - orange fall collage

Orange is not a colour I am normally drawn to, but this week I saw it everywhere. From the glowing fall flora in town and the food on my table to the drawings in my sketchbook.

Cathrin Gressieker_retro clock flowers collection_lowres

At the beginning of this week I came down with quite a cold. For two days I didn’t feel too good and I helped my healing process with some wholesome food and a little sketching in the sun. These sketches then became the starting point for a new pattern collection, that emerged quite naturally. I… Read More

Harvest Sketches

harvest sketches

It is mostly my sketchbook I go to for drawing and painting these September days. And the total vegan foodie that I am, I love drawing all the good things that are in season right now. And then eating them. This is quite a challenge for me, especially with figs, that are one of my… Read More

Hello September!

by cathringressieker, in category art, children, collage, crafts, drawing, painting, seasons
Cathrin Gressieker_September

I must admit, I was quite resistant to turn Clara’s calendar yesterday morning, as it meant the official ending of my favourite season of the year. And summer gave us a nearly tropical day and evening on August 31 as a farewell gift, so waking up to rain and dropped temperatures on September 1 felt… Read More

Colab 6

Reske_Gressieker_Colab6

“Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” Henry James It was exactly that – a perfect Sunday late-summery afternoon, spent in my garden with Doris Reske doing our Colab 6.  We further worked on our monoprinted backgrounds from Colab V, adding line-work,… Read More

My Thailand Sketchbook

by cathringressieker, in category art, books, children, creativity, drawing, fabric, flowers, inspiration, intentional life, travelling
Cathrin Gressieker_thaibook1

I brought my sketchbook home brimming with sketches and the feeling of fun I had while drawing them. Nearly all of its hundred pages filled up with memories and the big and little things I saw and put to paper on our Thailand trip. Things, that a camera can’t capture this way. Mostly little things,… Read More

lemonade jazz

With this week’s pattern I am exactly halfway through the year! And what should be in the middle of the year? Summer! The temperatures are hotting up finally and what can I bring you patternwise better than a cooling lemonade – my entry for this week’s Spoonflower contest. I wanted to combine yellow colour blobs… Read More

EVENT_GRESSIEKER_CATHRIN-k

When I step outside our house onto the terrace these June days and look up, I have a view kind of like this: I’ll be leaving for Brighton/England tomorrow for the MATS Global Art Gathering. I have been taking the Make Art that sells online courses with the Lilla Rogers School over the last months… Read More

A Week of Poppies III

by cathringressieker, in category drawing, flowers, inspiration
Cathrin Gressieker_poppy sketch_IMG_0427-k

I made some sketches of the poppies in our garden. Who knows what they will become? Part of a pattern, a photo collage. Or just stay drawing and marvelling practice. As they are.

Pattern 14/52

time flies

The pattern of the week is the result of the work I did in Week 3 of the MATS B course. The market was scrapbooking – something that took me a while to grasp. There is no such market in Germany (yet), but we were provided with lots of information and visuals in the class… Read More
