The Ebb Tide is visible from across the Costco parking lot on the other side of the Byram River that borders Port Chester, NY and Byram, CT. From my car, I can see what the sign says - Boat Rentals, Bait and Tackle, Gas - except that I had to mentally block out the wire fencing from my view.
I started sketching with the Platinum Carbon Ink pen and then added a watercolor wash. Then I got carried away in coloring the sky but it wasn't the sky effect I was shooting for. Once I got home, I masked it with white gouache wash. Oh well....
