Returning with the Catch by Alan Bickley

That’s a superb sketch of a hardworking trawler , covered in rust and slime that gets worse with constant use. The side of these boats take a hammering from the tackle use to haul the nets inboard, you have captured this far ware and tear beautifully Alan.

Your sketches just get better and better. I think that is superb!!

Love the boat on the left Alan, colour makes it. Super!

Love these old tugs and you’ve sketched it so well as always Alan.🙏👌

A good solid old tug! Very well sketched Alan.

Yes, these fishing trawler boats and tug boats look solid and one can sense the hauling of nets and see the solid frame of these vessels, nice fine line for the cables too!

Lovely sketch Alan.

Very good sketch of this trawler.

Love the back drop. Definitely has an early morning feeling

Lovely sketch, great colours.

Great sketching Alan ( you know, I love that signature of yours ).

Excellent!

You have captured the weather worn trawler perfectly Alan.
