La Cartuja, Seville.
(0.5 marker and watercolour in A5 sketchbook)
I'd just about given up on drawing anything in Seville, even after a wander round the fascinating complex of La Cartuja with its Spanish and Moorish architecture mixed with British kiln chimneys, and was on my way out of the gate. Looking back I saw this doorway and, really quite tired by then, sat down on a step and got the sketchbook out. The circular design proved a nightmare because it was composed of thousands of coloured ceramic tiles, but I guess (hope) that doesn't come across too badly in the final drawing.
Back at the apartment, I dug out my tiny watercolour box and a waterbrush and added a bit of colour to pull the thing together.
