Wanted to have a go at ships after a trip to Buckler’s Hard and Beaulieu in the New Forest (south UK), where they used to build them. Pleased with how they came out, but lots I would do differently a second time around though. Keen to improve, so any feedback would be great – thanks!

First painting since the 15 minute challenge. From imagination, somewhere a long way away, in a cave, waiting for the stars to come out.

What a great painting! I have enjoyed looking at your paintings over the last two weeks, and this is an excellent way to finish. A possible caption could be: “I enjoy painting with Gin, sometimes I even put it on the paper” (maybe a familiar quote to those who cook with wine!) Thanks also for the comments and feedback you’ve offered throughout the…[Read more]

Nice work! Agree 15 minutes is not a long time, was surprised how quick it went on my first try also.

Here’s the last 15 minute painting from my side – my guitar. I went a couple minutes over time on this one, largely due to fiddling around with it too much!

I’ve really enjoyed the past couple of weeks, learning so much from both seeing everyone else’s work and doing my own. Thanks everyone for your valuable feedback and encouragement – this is a…[Read more]

First attempt at a flower – looks like it needs watering!

Nice work! Very good without pencil first, especially.

Really good! Lots of atmosphere and you can see the breeze, with what looks like seeds blowing away as well

Agree it worked – nicely done! This seems like one of those deceptively hard paintings.. it has turned out very well.

Nick1404 replied to the topic 15 minute Car in the forum January Time Trial Challenge 1 year, 3 months ago

Lots of character to this painting, really good! It’s clever how there’s so much brightness from what is actually quite a dark background.

Nick1404 replied to the topic 17 minute – Falling water in the forum January Time Trial Challenge 1 year, 3 months ago

I love the sense of movement and it’s really well composed.
