I had to draw this car from three different angles...here's the first. The only benches in the museum fold down from the wall and trigger a recording. When you sit and sketch you inevitably listen to the same recording over and over again...until you can pretty much recite it. Julie and I  don't speak any German, but we deciphered the German one over the course of a drawing.

It came as a surprise to many, but we did spend a day at the BMW Museum drawing cars. I'm rather pleased with a number of the drawings, cars not being something I generally draw.

Fussen, Germany: Hohenschwangau

I found a photo I was able to take of one of the heaters! This one was rejected for use in Neuschwanstein for being a bit too ornate, but it's a good example of what was actually installed (though the colors on most of the others tended to be less garish).

Fussen, Germany: Hohenschwangau

A Bavarian hunting lodge. It has some of the most incredible ceramic heaters I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the tour moves at a swift pace and there's no time to draw and no photography allowed. I think by the end of the day, Julie was ready to kill me for saying, "Look at the heater!" I blame it on being an architect's daughter.
