In the March 10, 2025 issue, Christoph Niemann illustrates a peaceful view of New York Harbor from inside his former Brooklyn apartment. He reflects on the tranquil moments he experienced there, especially during calm early mornings when he enjoyed the beauty of nature while his family slept. Niemann attributes his inspiration to a particularly beautiful winter morning, after savoring coffee and clementines, noting that the crisp light and stark trees make for ideal drawing conditions, emphasizing the linear quality of winter landscapes.
This particular drawing came to mind on a morning that had especially beautiful light, after I had coffee and ate some clementines.
With the crisper light and barren trees, landscapes in winter are more linear and therefore well suited for drawing.
