bobsyouruncle Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Just finished this one of a Puma HC2 at low level. Spent my spare time during December and January on this one for someone. Not as big as the normal sized paintings. This one's A2 oil on canvas. Cheers Bob. 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Fantastic work Bob, really stunning painting!! Love the impression of speed & the loonie loadie hanging out the door like they always do (my son-in-law does it on Chinooks!) Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Wow! I genuinely thought it was a photograph of a Puma when I first looked. It wasn’t until I re-read the post did I realise it was a painting. Top work! Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Could I ask Bob, as you work in oils, do you varnish your finished paintings? And if as recommended you let them dry for a number of months first, how do you handle that with commisioned works? Do you have them returned to you by the customer, or visit them to do it? I ask purely out of interest as it's something I've long wondered about! (my now very occasional forays into artwork are either in pencil or acrylics!)

JeffreyK Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Wow, stunning! Great subject, angle and composition! If there was a print available of this, I'd definitely buy it (probably can't afford an original oil painting...). J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask purely out of interest as it's something I've long wondered about! (my now very occasional forays into artwork are either in pencil or acrylics!) Hi Keith, yes I normally varnish them. I thin my paint down quite a bit to allow flow and that improves drying time and lessens the time required before varnishing. I usually spray a temporary finish varnish, which gives protection but allows re-touching and overpainting. I would then give a final varnish at a later time. I've varnished some paintings before handing over and with others I've had them back for varnishing or have gone out to varnish them as you say. There wasn't time to varnish this Puma before a presentation deadline, so I wrote a note outlining this and saying that I'm happy to varnish it in the future. Cheers Bob.

buzz Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Likewise, for a second there, I thought it was a photo. Beautiful! Have you done any airliners? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nils Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 That’s truly a stunning painting there Bob, you’ve captured the speed and action amazingly well. It really makes me want to pick up my brushes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 A really great painting. I've done low level in Puma's in the dim & distant past. It was every bit as good as it looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
