So good, each one you is similar but very different in many way , I’d never get bored of seeing them Alan . Once again a very skilful piece, you make it look so easy but that’s far from the fact that it’s practice and skill that achieve this level of success.

Love your little studies

I'm with Keith!

These are so interesting!!

Beautiful atmosphere as always!

An evocative image, down river from the tower. The Pool of London. In my younger days a favourite sight, rammed with tugs, barges, medium sized cargo-steamers and sailing barges. Still is, I expect. Although the Thames Barrier must have put some restriction on the size of ships passing through. Almost worth a trip to find out. Your super sketch has brought all this to mind.

Another very fine sketch Alan-instantly recognisable as yours.

A really good series Alan, I've enjoyed every one you've posted.

Very good Alan

And a little delightful sketch too 🥰

Great watercolour technique Alan! I like much your style!!

Superb. Another triumph for “less is more”.

Great color added where need it

Thanks again for your support, much appreciated!

I agree with Paul, great work again !!

I agree with Paul and the others. You convey so much with your sketches. Less is definitely more!

Fabulous study Alan.
