More painting

I thought i had finished this three years ago but decided i hadnt today and started trying to inprove it, i know its not great but it has a certain charm about it i think, i went over the yellow white bits and will detail in the wheels and trim and so on next, might look ok

More Oil Painting

Done a bit more with paint left over from doing the truck, always handy to be working on 2 or 3 for that reason


Painting Update

Having chosen to use oils had to leave this to let the paint dry, so after couple of weeks added bit more to the lettering of truck and went over some of the details with grey and dark aswell as White

 Ford Cortina Mk3 Acrylic and Oil on Canvas not finished
 Mini Cooper S Acrylic and Oil on Canvas , Recycled canvas Very Nearly Finished
And Mercedes Benz Eddie Stobart truck, Acrylic and Oil on Canvas still a bit to do on that one, i am finding gradually i am swininging back to Oil it seems easier for me to get the paint down hard to explain, but i think it looks better aswell

Mini

Been working on the Mini, it was acrylic but now went over most of it with Oil hopefully for a better visual effect, i used teak oil with the paint as well on the red background, letting it dry then will probably touch up some of the glass and roof then it will be finished
Been working for past year or so mostly with acrylic , reasons being i think tthat acrylic is easier to work with , cleaner ,cheaper and with practise i was getting pleasing results with it offcourse it dries quick too ,but i might use more oil now or combination of both

Ford Cortina

Not sure if i like this , it was White and didnt look right now its yellow and doesnt look right, or does it. Maybe i should work in the colours or maybe just leave it the way it is not sure yet.

VW Prints

Made this up tonight, theese are prints of my paintings , they were sold a while ago,obviously this one is of a VW theme, i do Eddie Stobart themes aswell, they sell quickly normally, and there seems to be a big interest in VWs

Citroen 2CV Painting

Decided to tidy up my Citroen 2 CV Acrylic On Canvas painting ,putting bit more detail into the greenery ,just try make it look nicer

Life drawing




Life Drawing, one of them is a bit heavy as i wasnt listening properly, quick drawing suits me thougfh so i am happy if we only get 5 minutes or so in  fact i prefer it that way,think my drawing might be bit lacking on the finer touches but if its speed thats needed i can do it, would like to do portraits at a Fair or Market or something perhaps with charcoal or Charcoal Pencils

Bare Chested Lady

This is very latest and final attempt at this bare breasted lady oil piece

Fine Art

There pretty much finished, have to say i am shocked at the results and not really sure what i am attempting to say , but i created those images and they mean someting and i find it hard to answer questions about them




The bottom image of the four is definately the most interesting and sensible one , i think the other three are a bit daft, i am not sure if i am trying to shock or entertain or maybe bit of both
