Boats in Staithes harbour (WiP 2)
A detail of the boats in Staithes harbour. The village was predominantly a fishing settlement until the late 19th century. The fishermen used a type of clinker-built fishing boat known as cobles. They had a broad beam, high bow and flat stern, characteristics that were ddeveloped toncope with sea conditions on the north east coqst of England. Some of these are still used, though many have been modified with small diesel motors and steering cabins. The boats were fairly tricky to portray as they appear very small in the overall drawing. Drawn with a Pentel 0.5mm pencil on an A4 cartridge paper sketchpad.
