This sketch is my attempt to repeat the composition and values of the photo of my Mexican friend Carraol (his photo blog is here, every photo is a treasure, plus the music choice is fantastic).
This sketch is also the copy of watercolor sketch I saved to my desktop year ago. That time the drawing and the color choices of the original seemed perfect (and still are!) and unreachable. Now (one year later) I have courage to try to repeat it. Please visit the blog of the author of the original, Yann Lesacher, French painter and illustrator.
And two London views today.
