Great work guys, there is obviously some talent out there!
Not sure if it falls within forum rules, but I'd be really interested if any of those artists had online shops? Please PM me if preferred or if it's not allowed to put a link on this thread.
I would like to know this as well. Personally I just stick stuff on eBay ever so often, one went for £40 but yesterday my drawing of a glass went for 11p plus 30p postage to France. So I'm actually down by about a £1 but it's a nice fussy feeling inside knowing that someone likes it.

What got you into art?
I have been drawing and attempting to paint for just over a year now.
One random day I found a painting online of a car that looked a bit like my speedster, it was a blue bird painting by Jack Vettriano (Birth of a Dream). I did a bit of googling and found some others that I liked, then I realised that never in a million years would I own a Jack Vettriano. After sticking him into wikipedia I found out he didnt start painting till he was 21. That made me realise that to be good you didnt have to start young.
I have dyslexia so I thought that this meant I would be automatically crap at drawing, I mean if I cant pick up a pen and draw letters why should I be able to draw anything else?
But then I thought sod it! So I went out and got myself a cheep sketch pad and some pencils H6 HB and an H6, sat down and watched every youtube video I could find.
That week after watching a tutorial on youtube I drew my first half decent eye, this.
3 weeks ago I did an eye sketch and it came out like this.
I didnt think I had improved much until I looked back, I just hope I can carry on at the same pace of improvement.
Yesterday I had my first play with watercolours since I was about 4, and it came out like this.

But I lost, I think I came last.

My husband ' nemisis ' paints, he finds it hard to sell through any medium other than face to face, people ask as many questions about his state of mind and past history as they do about the painting being viewed. He likes your 18plus paintings as I do, so life like, not keen on the horses heads as we are not horsey types but he has asked me to ask you why do you often use an almost black back drop when painting a horses head?
He thinks you are better than you know, not that he is an expert, but praise from him is praise indeed.
Sorry I only just realised that was aimed at me.He thinks you are better than you know, not that he is an expert, but praise from him is praise indeed.
Thank you! It really makes a defrence when someone I dont know complments my work, I know its not just friends of famely feeling like they have to be nice.
The horse heads are commisions and I just do what they want, they pick the background. But it makes life easy when they want a solid colour.
