Ruins

I decided to go on a drawing trip to 'Colonia Güell'; a 'utopian' workers colony built in the 1890's around a textile factory. I got side tracked ,however, by the ruins of this castle like mansion on the road in. I drew an A2 arial projection of it using photos taken from the ground and inside. The perspective is not true; I used a grid of lines at a equal angles.

Tree building

A kind of A2 'automatic drawing', although I had reference material at hand, mainly'Nature and Architecture' by Paolo Portoghesiand sketches made in the woods.
