Went to the Ogden Point Cafe this morning. It’s remarkable how fast the light changes early in the day. Still frustrated by the smudging and by the way the pen won’t always start writing when I want it to, even fully loaded. By the time I left the ship in the sketch had disappeared. My hometown Brighton is on the English Channel and if you see a ship in the morning you’ll still be able to see it in the afternoon, just farther east or west. Tried to convey the texture of the water which varies because of the shoals beneath the surface. At least I was able to sip on my coffee as I worked!
