A lot going on in this excellent sketch Alan , the touch of white adds so much .

Another delightful sketch, Alan!!

I agree with Paul and another good one

Great sketch Alan and I particularly like the marks in the water.

Another great sketch Alan, full of that 'Bickley' detail that suggests so much, so clever.

Great sketch Alan.

Looks a hive of activity Alan without needing to show it. Excellent as always.

Love this Alan, very atmospheric

Never insipid Alan. Always full of lights and darks making them so good.

Super mix of subjects Alan…..…👍

Another beauty Alan 😍

Wonderful Alan. That water is just squiggles, but looks so real.

Love the tonal contrasts and the water is so convincingly scribbled

Very satisfying to look at Alan. You are on a winning roll with these sketches. This one is superb.

I always enjoy the freedom of your work Alan.

Fabulous detail Alan.
