Artist Required !!

Steve
As was said before, some more info about your friend would be very interesting to hear and who knows may inspire one of us, I know am inspired to paint subjects by what I read and hear, and I’m always looking for new ideas.

Gents,

Thanks for all your comments and pointers. I’ m afraid some of the amounts wanted will see me in very serious trouble with “er-in-doors”.

Thanks anyway. !!

kind regards

Steve

🙂 I was thinking that people would look at different things and having a target to work to would be a challenge.
Sometimes being asked to do something not so much in your comfort zone can stretch you.
Having said that colouring by numbers stretches me 🙂
Just for fun,something to kill off those up and coming dark nights 🙁

How about a ‘paint-off’ ? If those bored artists amongst us go head-to-head to represent the aircraft / crew in question it could prove to be at the very least, an interesting exercise. Just a thought. I don’t doubt for a minute that the eventual commission will go to a professional artist at a large premium.

🙂 If you put a few more details in here maybe some of us will come up with an idea.I know autumn is here and winter 🙁 is round the corner so maybe something could happen.
Just out of interest post some more about your friends history and tales,i know i’d love top read them if he would like to share them:)

Steve – Lindy’s Lad beat me to it!

There are several good artists who would accept a commission. Paul C instantly springs to mind, as well as ‘unsigned’ artists (ie. me!) 😀

Take your pick! The guild of Aviation Artists (www.gava.org.uk) is always a good starting point too.

Hello Steve
Try the forum on E-Hanger.

I had some success there a while back when I was looking for someone to do some aircraft profiles for the project I am working on.

Forgot to say that he does oils, watercolours and various other mediums as well.

Hi Steve,
I know a good and reasonable artist that has done work for me over the past few years. I have attached an example of his work so that you have something to base your judgement on.
Anyhow, let me know if you are interested and I will put you in touch with him.
Best wishes
Gerry
