Superb , a great example of these beautiful of craft and how to depict them with few details, Mr Bickley written all over it .

This is really good Alan.

I like the intensity of those darks Alan

Thanks guys , the colour is more reddish but I can’t change the photo now,

Another superb harbour side watercolour!

So full of movement and the details are excellent Alan.

Another sure winner for you Alan. Everything properly in its place. The hints of colour and the highlights are superb.

Super work Alan.

A beauty Alan.

Great image,love the sepia tones.

Excellent Alan. I love everything about it.

T'is good - but then: when isn't it? Dashed unfair if you ask me - triumphs every time: well, it's not NATURAL, is it?

I like this one especially with the black standing out against the light background.

Wonderful Alan!

Another great example of light playing on the buildings, it took my attention away from the boats!

Pin mill or thereabouts! Watercolour wips touch of ink on a piece of beige Ingres mountboard. This stuff makes a great sturdy surface for watercolour and ink. Around A4 size give or take!
