After 14 months of work (at weekends and after work on Wednesday evenings) I can now finally show you the final painting of the “Lancashire Fusilier” on the Buxton Spa Express. It has been painted on a A3 canvas with oil paints and mostly using a 0004 brush! My favourite parts are the details around the tender and main driving pistons which unsurprisingly took the longest part to paint. The painting will also be entered into the Derbyshire Open Art Competition at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery, I would love for the painting to go on display but obviously that is up for the judges to decide. The first image below is the original “untouched” picture followed by a few others using various filters. Over the next few months I am aiming to finish my painting of Lewis Hamilton before moving onto my summer holiday project of Concorde.
Hope you like the finished result.
