Beautifully done Alan , your choice of colour is spot on for the subject.

Precise pen work and I love the natural colours Alan.

I like the illustrative effect Alan, concentrating on the main subject and a little background provided by the distant boats.

This has some feeling of great weight to it. Very nicely captured.

The right colour in exactly the right place, fab watercolour

This is really good Alan.

Very nice sketch of this cargo ship beached, the contrast of rustic shows how old the vessel is , looks ancient and forlorn.

Sad to see these old work boats this way. An excellent drawing.

Superb as always

Excellent, love the perspective in this and the strong darks really create an atmosphere of a ship that’s seen better times.

A grand piece of work Alan. Love the subject and the way you have added the colours……natural and not precise.

Beautifully drawn Alan and like others have said, excellent placing of colour.

We all agree about the colours, perfect.

Love the suggested details 👌

This has so much character, love it

Simple and dramatic, I like the triangular composition.

Impressive ship Alan, the touches of colour just make it.

Another excellent maritime sketch, great use of colour where it’s needed and everything else is kept to a minimum, very skilful.👌
