pretty much just the water to paint now, then a few final touches and it'll be finished.
As always the photo's a bit washed out & doesn't really capture the contrast and colours in the actual painting]]> PROGRESS SHOTS http://www.bensherar.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120411-101846 Ben Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:18:46 GMT http://www.bensherar.com/blog/comments.php?y=12&m=04&entry=entry120411-101846 http://www.bensherar.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120411-101637

the photo doesn't really show the colors in the dark bits properly - it's a bit washed out, coming along well though.
Probably one more sitting and it'll be done !

still editing the video aswell ..]]> PROGRESS SHOTS http://www.bensherar.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120227-041210 Ben Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:12:10 GMT http://www.bensherar.com/blog/comments.php?y=12&m=02&entry=entry120227-041210 http://www.bensherar.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120219-232922

two or three more sittings should do it I think !

I forget to take regular shots as I'm working but it's all being captured on video,
I'll put the full video up once the paintings done]]> PROGRESS SHOTS http://www.bensherar.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120213-034004 Ben Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:40:04 GMT http://www.bensherar.com/blog/comments.php?y=12&m=02&entry=entry120213-034004 http://www.bensherar.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120208-085812

The Belgian linen that I double primed with oil-prime is a really great surface to paint on, this one's gonna be fun.

I also started the progress video but that'll take a while longer to put online !]]> PROGRESS SHOTS http://www.bensherar.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120203-044720 Ben Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:47:20 GMT http://www.bensherar.com/blog/comments.php?y=12&m=02&entry=entry120203-044720 http://www.bensherar.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120201-022634 8-bit painting in oils, lots more little squares to colour in
