Bridged
5.5"X3.5" Pen & WC pencil on paper
To be "bridged" is a local term which refers to the state of being delayed at the canal while a laker makes its way through one of the lift bridges. Such was my condition this morning.
Instead of playing the guessing game of trying to decide which alternate route to try, which often results in the state of being "double bridged", I decided to sit and sketch the boat as it crept towards me. These boats are often as long 260 meters (850 ft)but no more than 24 meters (78 ft) wide. This constraint is imposed by the size of the locks through which they have to pass.
Very nice Sarah,lovely soft tones, and well done on sketching a moving boat!
ReplyDeleteI really like this picture.You did a great job of portraying this area. One has a sense of the size of the boat.
