The agave flowers are simply amazing, the way they reach for the sky is breathtaking. We thought they were trees but they are the flower of the agave bush.  This sketch has been completed using Letraset aquamarkers. 

Sketchbook - Spanish inspiration

I have spent last week in Spain where there is a wealth of inspiration. I have completed some quick sketches to document some of the amazing form and colour. This first sketch is a morning glory  flower blooming at the side of the path, truly beautiful, but faded by the end of the day.
