Sunday Sketches - Whale Watching

For Sunday Sketches, this piece is called 'whale watching'. It's in my sketchbook (8 1/2h x 11"w) in watercolour pencil. I've never actually done any whale watching, have you?

Wonderfully done! Love how you caught the waterfall off its tail. The whales swim up our passage and sometimes I'm lucky enough to get a distant view of them.

Excellent sketch Christine.
I have been out on a boat in Sydney Harbour whale watching and they came up an surrounded our boat......so very exciting, wonderful creatures.

Beautiful blue color in your sketch this morning Christine. I must admit I've never seen whales in nature, it must be a beautiful sight.

Wow Peggy you are so lucky!

Tourists like to go out in boats during whale season, but I have not. Too afraid, perhaps, of being capsized.

Love your whale, looks so happy. We have a pod of whales beached on one of our beaches abut 100 volunteers are trying to keep them wet till high tide, fingers crossed they survive.

I think I saw a dolphin once, but no whales

Wonderful sketch! I've never done any whale watching but I hope to one day.

No whale watching on my end. But I'm afraid of salt water so I would not go on the boats, even if given the chance.

Oh I love this! It's so wonderful! I have done some whale watching and loved it, but have not yet managed to get an impressive photo, great experience though...

Yes I have. We went whale watching on Maui. Even though we didn't see a whole LOT of whales, it was still pretty awesome.
