A Window with History


This week I am hosting the drawing challenge at Drawspace.com, and this is my contribution. It was inspired by a photo I have taken, during my holidays, in Guimarães, North of Portugal.
It was the first time I tried my new set of watercolor pencils and it was indeed exciting!! I know the paper was not the most appropriate one (just a 150 gr. drawing paper) but was anyhow suited to give me some pleasurable moments...
