Jan I watched that from start to finish and absolutely loved it. You cannot beat a freehand painting like that and the subject material was of course marvellous for me.

Great stuff !
I've always admired Mark's work - he does some beautiful stuff and, no disrespect to 'digital artists', it takes real skill and technique to create such a picture with a brush and paints.

Loved it! Need how he modified the sun and trees on the right side several times. That's the nice thing about oils.

Didn't know that, thanks Wojtek. Robert Talyor, my personal fave, said he likes oils for their flexibility in being able to manipulate the colours so I just assumed.....

I agree. I normally paint (on canvas) with a mixture of oils, and enamels, some just 'household' paint (which are basically ready-thinned 'oils'), and the flexibility, and possibilities, are endless.
Maybe I should try artist's acrylics some day - might save some 'waiting time' before re-paint and / or adjustment.

I should have realized he was using acrylics as it looked like he was leaning his hand on the paint no long after he applied it.

Very cool. As an aviation art collector, I am interested to see the process. Lots of hard work. Besides, the Lanc is the Badass Bomber of WW2.
