Yeah thats all garbage Dill mate , they make me laugh these digital photographers ,, yeah ok it takes great skill to take an exceptional photo , but this sort of stuff should be signed Photoshop etc .

Yup there are some clever people about Chas ,, sort of people I aspire to , but will never make the grade due to my low ability .

However I enjoy the challenge everyday I paint .

Thanks for contributing

I havnt got much time this weekend as tomorrow were off to Brands Hatch for the BSB meeting but I just had to paint something after work today so I set myself a little challenge to do an oil painting without using a brush at all .

Well here we are Dartmoor before the storm in oil on acrylic paper using only my fingers and a mixing knife

[Neverna]

The grass and hedges/walls look good, Nigel, for only using your fingers and a mixing knife.

[nigelandjan]

I will try and do it again with a time lapse video for anyone who is interested ^ to demonstrate how its done

[nigelandjan]

There is a guy who lives near to me has asked me to paint some local scenes for him to go in his new house he has just moved into .

What I have done here is a practice painting in acrylics painted roughly on water colour paper I have primed .

This is behind his new house about 3kms from where i live

I will use this sketch to develop a nice oil painting for him

[ThaiAm]

Some pretty talented participants. Look forward to more examples.

My first Thames barge I have painted with the sails up , this was going around the coast near to where I live ,, there are lots of these about this time of the year

Lovely old vessels





TBH this isn't like a finished painting this is just a rough mock practice for this subject as I have orders for 3 of them with someone

This is painted firstly in acrylic then I have gone over certain areas in oil paint

[nigelandjan]

Painted this today plei air ,, what a beautiful day I had to ,, many people on holiday down here walking past and stopping to chat to me ,, wonderful way to spend a sunny Sunday in the UK

[nigelandjan]

Yesterday my boss said I have no work for your lorry tomorrow Nigel i.e. Saturday morning , so he said you can come in and wash lorries until lunchtime if you want .

I said " I'll see you Monday have a nice weekend "

Instead I painted this Thames barge going past near to where I live at a place called Wivenhoe , now the relevance of all this waffle is that I have made 3 times in money what I would have done going in to work as this is one of eleven paintings I have now been asked to paint for various clients .

Hope there is no work next Sat , and the next one and the next

Great to be having a lovely days painting and earning a bit of cash on the side

[Neverna]

^ Looks good, Nigel! The water looks great.

[nigelandjan]

Thankyou ^ its always nice when someone takes the rouble to leave a comment , good or otherwise
