Sketching the Journey to the River Hull

 Sketching the Journey to the River Hull

The entrance to Hull Marina, watercolour sketch

I captured the entrance to Hull Marina on a blustery day when the clouds were flying across the sky. Lincolnshire can be seen in the distance.

The Deep, iconic aquarium at the confluence of the Humber and the River Hull, pencil sketch

The magnificent architecture of the Deep rises up from Sammy's Point like a great sea creature, looking out over the majestic waters of the Humber. Steel and glass glisten and the water below sparkles in the sun. 

The Tidal Barrier and Pedestrian Swing Bridge over the River Hull, pencil sketch

The view above illustrates the series of bridges and roads at the entrance to the River Hull. The river cuts the City of Hull in half and there are a series of bridges along its route to allow vehicular and pedestrian access. Before the installation of the Tidal Barrier the centre of Hull suffered serious flooding.
