LOCATION: Placa Mercadal, Palma de Mallorca, Mallorca, Spain

Palma de Mallorca is one of my favourite cities in Spain for urban drawing. It has a classic Spanish old town, complete with ancient cathedrals, churches and public buildings combined with a modern take on the architecture that seems to blend perfectly. When in cities like this, I always try to get up high to draw, seeing the city in a different way is always exciting. This view of Palma rooftops was from the hotel were staying in and I loved the way the buildings overlap and collide to create a chaotic and engaging scene. The pantile roofs are an essential ingredient in any Spanish city sketch, and I took time and care to make sure they were faithfully drawn to make the detail satisfying.

There is no better way to capture a scene than sketching live on location and there is something very true about the result. It will never be a photographic representation but the spirit of the scene is evident and the very essence of the subject matter is captured in a way that photography never can.
