Sketching Along the Humber: South Bank

 Sketching Along the Humber: South Bank

I made some watercolour sketches on the south bank of the Humber, at the foot of the Humber Bridge. In the sketch above I tried to capture the graceful sweep of the bridge and the reflections on the water. In the foreground are the muddy banks of Barton Haven.

In the two sketches above, I concentrated on smaller, detailed areas of the same scene.

The views from the south bank of the Humber take in the more built-up areas of the outskirts of Hull. Looking east, one can see the commercial ports of the Humber and often spot a large ship or ferry. It is interesting to see the ships navigate the wide channel of the estuary and carefully navigate the huge sandbanks which appear as the tide goes down.
