Vale of Rheidol Rly Wales

MY IMAGE(S):



GENERAL INFORMATION:
Title: Vale of Rheidol Rly Wales
Year Created:
Medium: Watercolor
Surface: Watercolor Paper
Dimension: 14x10
Allow digital alterations?: Yes!

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.

Re: Vale of Rheidol Rly Wales

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

Andrew

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.
