Paint Party Friday - The Dock

Just a quick watercolour sketch today, this piece is entitled 'The Dock', inpired by a photo I saw in the newspaper. I was attracted to the perspective of the dock. It's done in watercolour pencils (5"h x 7"w) in my journal.  Linking to Paint Party Friday.  I can't believe how many years I've been participating in this popular art co-op, pretty much since it began.

Great watercolor sketch. I'm working with watercolors too, and have been really thinking about a special sketch journal. We'll see if I can be as consistent as you! Happy PPF!

Wow, love the pier! Beautiful. I still remember when I first began doing this 2 years ago, how amazing it is how time flies and things change! Even your style changed.
