Here’s the painting I’ve been working on, and am still working on.. I now know it’s too small of a format, and that’s why I found it so hard to do details, well live and learn. It’s my first painting. Next, and presently, I’m doing larger landscapes, I’ll go back to aviation stuff when I learn how to paint better.
My mom’s a retired Dr. who’s also a known painter and now has free time to paint, and teach me. But she doesn’t do aviation art, so I’ll be learning landscapes and portrait stuff all this summer, and then hopefully use them skills to do real nice aviation art in the future. Half of the beauty of the known av. Art dudes is how well they do their backgrounds, so I figure I’m on the right track.
I wish to thank Roscoroo for the maps I used for the land and sea. Also thanks to Golfer for the winter sky photos he sent me, these were the basis of the painting.
guys. Also thanks to Nuttz, who took the time to answer my rookie questions, and I’m looking forward to trying airbrushing .
Before ya’ll eat me alive, remember it’s my first attempt. I hope you like it.
