Mountains and plane

          I didn't realise that the background was somewhat lacking for a few days,
          as I was pleased with my plane that I had painted separately and stuck
          onto the main painting with a wad so that it was 1/2cm above the painting.
          However my piece de resistance is the propeller which is a plastic disk.

Vibrant sun playing with the sea

                                              I just like this for no real reason.
                                              Maybe I just like vibrancy in life.

Painting sea sunset on a huge canvas

                                                           jarduli
I wanted to learn how to paint so I decided to paint hundred paintings in order to do that.
I started off with acrylic paint and before a reached 40 paintings I swapped them for oils
because I find them more flexible more reflective and easy to blend.
If you are wondering how much took each of my paintings just multiply the time of the video by 9
