A very good sketch, and I like the colours washing into each other.

I’m enjoying seeing your Thames sketches Alan, and really like the use of the unpainted background areas. I’m always interested by the idea that we don’t need to fill every inch of the surface (although I usually do!).

These Thames sketches demonstrate your immediately recognised style of painting- excellent work Alan.

The various colours merging into one another make this a beautiful watercolour.

Primarily watercolour with a touch of pen work in my sketchbook. Just made up shapes with splashes of colour blending together!
