Years and years ago I painted a tallship with real oilpaint.
Well painting is not the good word, it was more coloring a
picture with paint.
In Germany they"called it "Mahlen nach zahlen", what means in
Englisch "Painting in numbers.
The result is not so bad i.m.o.
Its dirty so it has to be cleaned but I don't know how.
I successfully found you, Bouler! And, although you said "no big
deal", I feel I should still re-apologize for being so dense I
didn't catch your sig. Now, as to your Renault, is that at all a
popular brand of car in the Netherlands? Here in the U.S.,
Citroen, Puegeot, and Renault have all made attempts a couple of
times to penetrate our market but each failed. In the 1980s, when
Chrysler was collaborating on some engines with Peugeot, I had a
Plymouth Turismo 2-door little FWD car with a 1.6L Peugeot 4-
banger in it. Got terrific gas mileage but seriously lacked
power. Styling is a very personal thing, and personally I find
French styling to be pretty ugly but what I see posted in the
a.b.p.autos group of modern cars, I think it is improving as in
their quality and reliability.
Check back into the "wallpaper" NG, I'm posting more cars
pictures right now. I'll try a few more series and evaluate the
interest or lack thereof.
BTW, nice painting. I have absolutely zero artistic ability to
the point where I flunked "Crayons" in Kindergarten so anyone who
can paint except by-the-numbers has my respect!
