I enjoy visiting Dubai Creek and the surrounding area, when it is not too hot I like to sketch and paint at the location. It is full of life and activity with visitors from all over the world and offers a glimpse of 'Old Dubai'. As much as I enjoy the spectacular modern city I am always drawn back to the creek with its traditional offerings.
Where possible I have included the preparatory sketches next to the finished works with picture details below each image.
Some works are only available in Dubai.
23.5 x 28.5 cm, original watercolour with pen and ink by Carl March.
Inspired by sketches made at the location, showing entrance to the Bayt Al Wakeel Restaurant. Sketched directly onto textured paper with a pencil followed by several coloured washes and ink.
Especially pleased with the finished painting showing the subtle colours contrasting tones.
Sold.
