On the heels of my post about opening my sketching valves and letting the ink flow on the trip to Amsterdam, these individual boats were the next step. I have never met a boat I didn't want to draw, but do recognize that they are much easier to draw as side-on elevations than in perspective.
I started into a few looking down from bridges and was not happy, so moved myself to a position just looking across the canals to the boats on the other side. At this point, I wasn't even tempted to add the houses behind the canal and had fun knocking of a page of boats at a time, then painting the batch.
