Sketching Along the Humber: North Bank

Sketching Along the Humber: North Bank

There is much scope for making exciting sketches along the banks of the Humber. It is interesting to see the different views from the north and south banks. The Humber Bridge forms a dramatic backdrop to the views at Hessle foreshore and the light is always changing.

I made a series of watercolour sketches which are illustrated below.

I then went on to try out painting a similar view on aluminium - the cool of the metal seemed to suit the shiny reflections of the water, but I found it difficult to work with.
