Not only do we have some truly talented photographers but also artists such as Birdlike and the magnificent Minter! Hmm...that makes Mints sound like a circus act but he will always have godlike status in R2 Towers for his painting used on the BoB Day tickets.

wish i could draw planes like that....did boats for a while...long time ago...but never planes

and as Data said...the calendar needn't be just photos and colour insets...can envisage an inset with part of the main pic as an illustration shown in pencil....would be a masterpiece

18th July 2007, 18:44

Birdlike, what do you mean "I did a sketch today.."

no4mkit, ... well I just did it in few hours :unsure: + some research of course which frankly takes far too much time:wacko: . I always admire those who have deep knowledge especially about historic aviation :)
In addition, I simply like to work reasonably fast, but all necessary details are the priority. That is why I use medium like gouache, which is appropriately quick technique for me ;) Hmm... I am going to finally seriously try watercolors and for that to be fast is necessary ;) ...well, will see :confused:

Minter, yes I have to admit that I like "wide-angle" perspective, maybe because usually there are no photographs like this and it is so difficult to be that close to the action :) In case of artwork, I can be much closer :D

Thanks guys for comments :)

Ever thought of selling any Mints as looking back through the thread, then they are very good indeed...

I know it is a hobby, but would pay for your materials and such like. :)
