I sketched this on my way to Hove. I felt a bit chilly sitting on the platform as the sun set – though I have no doubt most people in the UK would have considered the weather warm! I added the colour to this from a photo.

What a lovely way to capture a journey! 🎨🚆 There is something special about sketching directly on a railway platform—the passing trains, the fading sunlight, the quiet waiting, and even that little chill in the air become part of the artwork.
