26) Boat high and dry, Aberavon. Line and wash

If you walk along the path from the plate girder bridge up onto the Beach, you pass the estuary of the River Afan, and you can often see boats upon it. This boat was on a sort of platform affair, out of the River, and I liked the look of it, so I couldn’t resist sitting down and making a quick ink sketch with a couple of watercolour washes over the top of it. I ignored a few stares from cyclists and dog walkers as I did so. I think that this is one of my better attempts at applying watercolour to an ink sketch. The greenery is actually quite appealing.
