[Dylan]

I agree, that red X is fantastic

Whats the sky Latch, cobalt blue and allizion crimson with a touch of raw ochre??? What method did you use, the Turner go for it or the more sedate every bit at a time. Nice out come any way

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Latch do you ever sell your pictures mate?

When I get my first house wouldn't mind having a few of them dotted around.

i like the brush strokes on the sky, very effective.

[monty]

That snow effect is great, how did you manage it

Fair enough Dylan but i expect some kind of praise when you get home!

Quite a few blues Mont, cobalt, ultramarine, cerulean, prussian, along with a few other colours, crimson and ochre's included, well spotted.
As for the method, just went for it Jim, the sky occupied so much of the painting that it was starting to get on my tits.

Thanks for that Suits, much appreciated, you should always try and put some 'movement' in your sky's, nothing worse than a 'flat' looking sky.
It was painted from a photo, somewhere along the South coast of England, Isle of Wight ?

Great result mate, love the shafts of light eminating from the invisible breaks behind the clouds, magical effect and very difficult to do, when I tried it it looked like a hail storm

Clever eh !

 

[monty]

Clever eh !

Come on, don't be a tease Picasso, how did you do it, I trust you didn't use masking fluid and drag over later, it is a watercolour isn't it?

No, not this time Jim, it's one of my rare attempts in oils.

A tip with Masking Fluid for you mate, if you want snow effect, dip a Toothbrush in the stuff, and, holding the brush a few inches from your paper, scratch your thumbnail along the hairs, the result should be hundreds of spots of all sizes.

But even then it wont be as head scratchingly impressive as the effect i have achieved here!

* Danny, Dylan. ( Cheers lads, keep it between ourselves ok )

Well you do surprise me, I know that snow dodge mate but your sky is an oil painting, wow, and do I mean wow. I doubt wether many can truly appreciate how hard that is, brilliant does not do it justice, it truly doesn't Latch, I'm not worthy
