I sat down on a bench in the market just off Wenceslaus Square, and saw this church just across the way. I liked it so much I just began sketching it then and there |

Line and wash of St. Vitus Cathedral which is part of the Prague Castle complex |
Charles Bridge again. Quite early in the morning I was passed by this monk . I quickly sketched him in, then added other figures and the bridge itself at a more leisurely pace. |

A more detailed study of the lesser town end of the Charles Bridge |
You can take a tour of Prague in one of these 'vintage' tourers. I actually used several which passed in the space of about an hour to make this study |
