Park Benches: 40 Degrees In The Shade…

There is a bench in Madrid’s Retiro park that sits just across a path from the one I drew above – a lady writing a letter, her dog waiting quietly in the 40 degree shade. I drew the other end of the same bench, from the same spot, some time ago…

Big Challenge! Madrid’s Palacio de Crystal

I thought I wouldn’t attempt drawing this for a long time, it’s so big and complex!

But in the end I realise it’s all just about fitting together pieces of a puzzle – some are bigger and more complex than others, but then you just need more time – speaking of which, I didn’t have enough to add watercolour, but I quite like this in just ink!
