Detail from Saint Michael’s Chapel, Budapest
Budapest is located along the Danube River, which totally dominates and defines the city. The river is huge, perhaps especially so to my California eyes. It is so wide that an island, Margaret Island, fits nicely into it with plenty of room for ships to steam by on both sides.
We toured Margaret Island yesterday with family and got a terrific overview of it. The island is full of tempting sketching sights which I hope to return to alone so I can linger and draw. I took photos with my phone and used one for this sketch of the detail over the door of Saint Michael’s Chapel.
This is a pen and watercolor sketch on watercolor paper.
