This watercolor study captures the unique presence of L’Antipode, a ship on Canal de l’Ourcq in Paris, contrasting beautifully against the calm surroundings of the canal, park, and nearby buildings. The gentle balance between the ship and its environment intrigued me, and I aimed to bring out that quiet juxtaposition on Arches Rough 300g paper. It’s a piece that reflects the stillness and understated vibrancy of Parisian life along the water.
