Original artwork description:

An original, hand-drawn illustration capturing the iconic traditional blue beach umbrellas of Praia do Relógio in Figueira da Foz, Portugal. The scene is filled with rhythm and repetition — rows of striped canopies set against the pale sand and the distant Atlantic — creating a beautifully graphic and instantly recognisable coastal atmosphere.

Drawn using pencil, marker, ink, and pen on Fabriano cartridge paper, the artwork blends expressive hand-rendered texture with clean, structured forms. The bold blue stripes bring the piece to life, while the minimalist composition keeps the focus on pattern, light, and the timeless character of this beloved Portuguese beach.
