The Apostles

[jow104]

First attempt at The Apostles, not quite bad enough for the bin but at least I know that there are good prospects for the next session. One problem experienced was that the watercolour pad was an unfortunate purchase, the paper will not take much loading of water and subsequent loading of paint.

How long does it take you to complete one of these?

Around 30 minutes actual painting time but 10 hours thinking,(nearly all day yesterday ) didn't start the job until around 8.30 pm and was in bed by 10 pm. The lost hour was waiting for paint layers to dry.

Nice painting John.
The one in the foreground is the one that disintergrated a few months ago

I wonder how many years it will take to put a replacement in position.:D

I better do some more paintings before the rest disappear;)

I now recall reading that the well known and famous artist named Whistler being asked the same question of one of his paintings and he replied to the enquirer
"15 minutes but a lifetime of learning".
Seems taking 30 minutes I have some more education forthcoming.:)
