MY COMMENTS:
Here is one for railway enthusiasts! Enjoyed painting the locomotive (No 1213 Prince of Wales) and, while I think it is a bit "chocolate boxy", I hope it might bring a smile to train buffs. The trickiest part was drawing/painting the rails ....had to be dead accurate or else looked "wrong".




MY QUESTIONS FOR THE GROUP:
Comments welcome (thumbs up or down!). Think the composition is O.K but would like to have been able to paint it perhaps in a more painterly way.

i think its very good. my only thing would be the red face of the train being right in the centre tho its still works for me very well

Lovely, you could put a No 9 on the front red coupling plate.
That is one giant of an engineer too.
They are not as big as Thomas the Tank Engine but they are still a fair size

Lovely.

I wouldn't worry about the style - not everything has to be painterly imo. I really like it.

This is an awesome painting, and knowing how difficult water colour can be, you have done a fine job! Cheers =)) Debs.

Thank you Octopus Inc. One day I think I'll have another go at this one...the loco is fine but I am not 100% happy with the background.
