Old Whitby
Painted from an 1880’s photo, of the fishing port of Whitby on the North East coast of England.
Here, laid up, is the collier brig, ‘Opal’.
The ruins of the priory, immortalised by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, can be seen on the hill.
My first pen and watercolour work.
Watercolour washes over a pencil drawing, then finished in ink.
Hannemuhle, 200lb paper 7”x 8”.

And I appreciate your favoriting this.
Brian Towers
it’s not easy to get boats right at that angle so I reckon you’ve done a great job here Colin. I do like the way you’ve painted the sky.
Colin Cartwright replied
Yes, boats are a challenge – especially the complex shape of old sailing ships. And I love a painting/drawing challenge – so I continue to learn. If it has been slightly painful, then I know I’ve put lots into it!
Cheers, Brian.

You sure did a marvelous job for the first work with pen, I have always loved this mixture. There is a nice balance to the painting and sky is stunning. The details in the boat just draw your eye right to it.

Marion Chapman
Congrats Colin – the Home Page!! Such a good one!!
Colin Cartwright replied
Thanks a lot, Marion.
I didn’t rate this one much, as my painting gets better with each one.
Do you know how they choose these?
I’ve been on this site since late 2007, and this the first time I’ve been on the home page, it seems to be all photos, which, unlike paintings, are a click of a button.
Better late than ever.
