No masks? No problem! Small 🧵 on freehand canopy painting: Start with the interior. I like Vallejo’s model air Interior Green. Yes, you can brush paint it. If the first coat is light then add a second. Try to stay tidy. But don’t worry if things are a little messy.

One last look at The #ArtofWW2! We're open this Bank Holiday Monday, 8 May, 2pm-5pm. So you'll get one extra chance to catch the exhibition before its advertised end on 7th May. It'll also be #VEDay, so here's George Charlton's 'Victory Evening May 8th' for the occasion
Painting depicting a VE Day celebration in a Cotswolds village in 1945. A crowd of people can be seen gathering around a First World War memorial just outside a church and graveyard, which appear in the background. Colourful bunting hangs between trees.

Oil dot filter tip: Remove excess oil from the paint by putting it on an absorbent 🧽 surface. But you can’t just put it on the surface. How you put it on there matters, too! The New York City Bagel Schmear Approach is clearly best. Maybe next time black and brown.

Getting my technique in for the mud on the comet. Pretty happy with this. Late spring, drying out all the crap gathered in march time.
