Frank wanted a project that would keep him occupied for awhile, what better than the Magnificent Seven!

as you can see it's progressing very well.

abit more detail to Thor

The location looks really exotic, but according to Mark the location is Chalkwell Beach!

Mark has been working on the artwork for at least 4 months, Mark says " I've put so much paint on it, I could have another picture underneath"!

Our Tuesday morning art class tutored by Maggie.Maggie teaches lots of differant Watercolour techniques, the class runs from 10am til 12 midday

Once the image is in place, it's time for the first coat, as you can see the black (Paynes Grey) is quite patchy, any extra collaging can be done at this point before the second and final coat.

So far Nicky has drawn in Capt America, The Hulk, the Rock sort of hero from the Fantastic Four( sorry not to good with super heroes ) and has just started on Thor! incidentally i know a joke about Thor and Toyah Wilcox! Thor arrives on Earth and bumps into Toyah Wilcox in a club ( why Thor would be in a club i don't know ) they hit it off immediately and she asks him back to her place for a night of passion, he readily agrees and they make mad passionate love all night, they continue the next day and all through the following night. Finally exhausted she asks him how comes he is such a great lover..... and thats about as far as i'm prepared to go with this joke! more updates soon

Here's the painting over 4 canvas's

My new mantra is, must blog more..must blog more...anyway, here is a pic of Nicky who comes along to the art classes with her mum Sandra. Nicky is working on a painting spread over 4 canvas's of ALL the marvel heroes!

she started the painting just before Christmas, (I think) by painting in the orange background, since then she has patiently and with painstaking attention to detail drawn in four of the main characters, i don't know how long the artwork will take to finish but as i said to Nicky I'm retiring in 2030!

As you can see, I am a terrible blogger, time flies the list of 'things to do' gets longer and the time I want to spend painting gets shorter and I still have to fit in blogging. right as for Jimi, tearing alot of the plain white paper from around the image, the image is then glued to the canvas.

Hi, No Life class tonight due to the snow, hopefully it will be next Monday instead, cheers
