MADRID Drawing (Based on David Hockney)

This is my drawing of the Buen Retiro Park in Centro Madrid, Spain. It shows some of the main tourist establishments within the city - columns, statues, staircases etc. As well as this, it is a good blend of nature and the city - you can see the greenery and natural features mixed with the urban elements (apartment complexes, fences, streetlights, shrubs, towers) which is another link to my 'Humans and the Environment' project.
