Very well drawn Paul.

Heather , Alan, David and John many thanks for your kind comments. My love of marine art is definitely around these old trawlers, sailing barges and steam cargo ships Alan , all full of character and charm. Very different to the modern streamlined super container carries , I like all the derricks , funnels , masts and rigging etc

A4 pencil sketch of a steam drifter heading out for the fishing grounds. These old boats were often call herring boats or drifters , at one point there were thousands of them running out of British ports , Hull, Aberdeen, Lowestoft , Brixham and many more sadly not so many modern trawlers these days. One large Chinese vessel Candy trawl as much fish as many twenty normal size vessels or more and damages the sea bed as it pulls up everything with its metal edge nets.

I have sketched most of my life on and off I became interested in watercolour following a spinal injury whilst in hospital but did not follow it up. My eldest daughter bought me a beautiful wooden box set of half pans about twenty five years ago I dabbled on and off until retirement twelve years…
