Sketches of Dubai
A collection of watercolour paintings, ink and pencil sketches, showing my observations in Dubai.
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.

'Tourists visiting the Textile Souq, Dubai Creek'
29.0 x 21.0 cm, original pencil sketch by Carl March.
Attracted to the view looking into the Souq, showing traditional buildings and wooden architecture.
Sketched at the location on a very hot day when I was not wearing a hat.
Suffered for a few days, my own stupidity. The words of Noel Coward come to mind....'Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun'.
Sold.
Location: Sketches of Dubai.
