Introducing “The Lanarkshire” a once grand vessel home to many servicemen and women, stationed in the Firth with the task of protecting Britain and its interests. The painting has been commissioned by my client as a birthday present for his fathers 80th birthday whom was once stationed on this fine vessel.

The painting is been created on an A2 Canvas and is again been painted with Oil Paint. The deadline for the project is the end of June and due to its size, details and complexity (especially on the upper deck) I thought it would be important to start it early.

To date I have completed the sky and started to paint the front bodywork of the ship. Over the next week I am aiming to complete the “red and black” zones of the bodywork before moving onto the “white” zone.

Showing a completed sky with some front details added.
