Real water colours

A day out on the water proved to be an inspiring jaunt for a group of artists in Docklands last month.

Around 40 artists enjoyed a boat tour around the harbour and port, getting an up-close view of enormous container ships.

The tour, arranged by the Mission to Seafarers, aimed to provide budding and professional artists with some real-life inspiration in the lead up to the ANL Maritime Art Prize and Exhibition.

The exhibition is held at the mission each October and features maritime-themed artwork.

Following the tour, the group of artists had the opportunity to join in a painting session near the mission.
