Bitesize Spitfire in Oils

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody, here is the second oil painting I've ever completed. I based it on a photo of a Spitire at Flying Legends in July 2018 and added in the sky from my imagination. 

 

I'm aware that one or two aspects of the perspective & shape are not quite right but since my weak spot is tonal values I'm pleased with how it turned out.

 

Paints used were Winsor and Newton Water Mixable Oils and it measures 18 x 14.5cm. It took me about three days. I'm gonna give this to my 11 year old nephew as a belated Christmas present.

Very nice painting, and water colours are indeed a tricky and unforgiving medium. 

As I’ve said once or twice before, an easy and quick way to check your perspective and roundness, is to mirror your work and check as you go along.
