The high tide and waves at a pier

Friends and I encouraged each other in the pandemic! It was lovely to sketch together under sunshine...and in a chill wind?! Nice to have chats, keeping a social distance. In the afternoon, a coming high tide fascinated me.

In the morning, I sketched a pier in a low tide for a value study. The sketch came up boring, in my eyes and the subject looked small. I asked myself, "What do I want to say in this sketch?" The value study sketch helped me to think of composition and colours. I went to the other side of a pier, and then, picked up mainly the interesting subjects, waves and a boat. 
Friends, take care and stay safe in a pandemic! We will get through this tough time.
