A blank Aluminium Panel. I’ve not painted a detailed laborious oil painting in a while. Hopefully in a few months time I will have something completed on here. It’s also going to be a landscape, trying something new…… 😬. #newoilpainting #aluminiumpanel #michaelsheldon #londonartist #wirralartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca5F_2kLnGX/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Jamie” 30” x 24” Oil on canvas. 3 hours. Not my usual way of painting I have decided to do a series of 6 portraits all done within a 3 hour time cap. This will help me become structured and allow me to just paint. The 2nd photo shows progress shots from 1st hour, 2nd hour and 3rd hour. First painting of the year in my new studio. • • • #speedpainting #3hourpainting #portraitartist #oilpainting #michaelsheldon #oiloncanvas #formerroyalmarinescommando https://www.instagram.com/p/CYZhl6fojRB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ken Bromley Art Supplies Cover Competition voting ends on Sunday. Here is a vid of all the shortlisted entries! Some amazing work here and difficult to choose a winner so I’m just happy to be amongst the shortlist, it’s worth a watch even if you don’t vote. I’m on around 2:40 I believe.
