[updated:LAST EDITED ON 14-01-02 AT 06:20 AM (GMT)]I did this a few years ago when I was in the navy, it was in the computer course and since I already knew how to use one I decided to waste my time more apropriately.
Hope you like it.

Excellent stuff. You have a great gift. I have always wished I could draw! I wasn’t even allowed to take Art ‘O’ Level…
And welcome too!
Best regards

Superb renditions Nick, welcome to the Forum!:)

Nice work
Very good quality pencil work. They look very much like the ‘remarque’ illustrations which you often see in the margins of art prints.

I wish I had your talent mate.

Hi Nev,
I agree with what you say. I used to be in the GAVA myself quite a few years ago when I lived in the south. It’s those who buy the paintings that put the emphasis on the Guild not the artists themselves. It’s just a fashion thing really. I have been in art for around 40 years and I have a degree in it as well……it means nothing in the end.
Best Wishes.
Robert.

£300 for painting? I was offered £35 for one of mine last week. I don’t think he understood why I answered **** off. Different worlds I think.
Best Wishes.
Robert.
Yes, I do the occasional daub myself, but would be lucky to get an offer! I think membership of GAVA automatically adds a premium to what you sell. All the same, quite right to hold out for more for your work. On holidays and such around the country I have seen some truly cr*ppy pictures (on all subjects, not just aviation) on sale for £££’s and felt I could do at least as well.
At the GAVA exhibition, most of the larger oils by the top painters are excellent, but I’m sure that “the name” accounts for a significant part of the price. Same thing with the Society of Marine Painters, etc. Then again, painters like Roy Cross were “jobbing” artists for years in the commercial world before they really cracked it and became big names, so good luck to them!!
