Aviation Art

Post by ChrisShaw »

Hi all my Art website is up and running now showing my work on aviation and wildlife art.
I am concentrating on building my Aviation portfolio at the moment so all of my posts will be of military aviation.

Please check out my new site at http://www.shaw-arts.co.uk.

I hope you enjoy my paintings :smile:

Thanks Chris Shaw

Harrier paintings are stunning. Tiger in the snow is also a hugely impressive piece. :clap: :clap: :clap:

The Lightning and F/A2 are incredible! not sure on the Vulcan, don't think you've quite captured that but that's not meant as an insult you're clearly an incredibly talented artist-well done! :yahoo:

Thanks Craig glad you like them, you haven't offended me, I agree the shape isn't quite right. The vulcan was one of my first attempts when starting out. Now I have improved I plan on doing another later on in the year :smile:

Thanks all I can say is to just keep working and do stuff your really into, and each time you finish a piece you'll notice that you'll keep getting better and better each time.

I love how dynamic your aviation paintings are, it's like you can almost see the movement. With that being said, I really enjoy the tigers as well. The details in the fur and the eyes are unbelievable. You have a new fan!

Same for me really, 14 though! Prefer to use pencils if I'm honest but I'd love to try pastles but it's a faff with spraying a fixant etc. Your works are amazing though Chris! I've liked your Facebook page and there are some real gems on there :worship: :clap:

Thank you :smile:

I don't use fixative on my pastel paintings like you I find it to be too much of a faff and it also dulls the colours the way around it for me is to frame the paintings behind glass as soon as I have finished them so they don't smudge :smile:

Hi all here is a new drawing I have just completed of a Sea King HC4 from 845 Squadron at RNAS Yeovilton. Former Senior Pilot Rich Sutton of 845 squadron has kindly agreed to sign the original and prints for me. (see cheesy photo)

Thanks for looking
