Nicely done, Paul!

Very effective use of mediums Paul. I do like the look of desertion, this portrays.

Excellent work, super colours.

Like this old boat !!

I love the way you've created this atmosphere, and I think the pen and ink is fabulous.

A lovely old boat Paul, I like that pared back colour palette

A beautiful boat on the gently lapping water - super sketching, Paul!

Thank you all for the very kind comments , I find these basic sketch’s very relaxing to do and the challenge of getting the tonal effect with the same colour ink is really interesting. I did use my fountain brush pen for the wash it’s such a useful tool, plus a little water and a very small brush.

Smashing painting Paul.

Well done Paul your art is coming along really well and how you’ve portrayed the boat is excellent! Loving the subtle palette just keep them coming! Top work!!🙏👌

Beautifully done!

Nice sketch that, Paul.

Great work, Paul ! 🎨 The tonal effects you achieved with the brush pen and water are very impressive. Beautifully done ! 🌊

Many thanks everyone for your most kind comments.

Super piece Paul.

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…
