    Very nice! I like the Tom Baker-era Doctor Who intro warpy thing going on in the red there!

    I used to work in an art gallery, and I'd say it would depend on size and the artist's popularity. From the looks of it from the early pic, I'd say it is fairly large. I would assume you aren't a well-known artist (no offense! just from what you said), so in my time it would probably have been around £250-400. So yeah, nowadays I don't see why you wouldn't get 600 Euros for it from the right buyer. Get yerself more well known and you could easily double that ;-)

    not well known at all! but I m thinking to change that ;)

    Art has always been a form of expression for me, and I don't see the harm in making a few quid if people appreciate it =)

    Which reminds me, I need to get some rough sand paper to smooth some wood.

    The first one is done on a piece of wood, 77cm tall. I prime the wood with wall Alkyd-based coatings.

    You mean, thats what the statue is going to be of? Because that doesn't look like a statue, unless I'm just looking at it wrong.

    I don't know if this is what Barc0de was aiming for, but "Statue" could just be an ambiguous title that has everything and nothing to do with the subject matter.

    If I ever name any of my pieces (which is really rare anyway), that's usually the approach I take.

    Thanks :$ I give full credit to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings op.11 for making this:p I must have heard it loop at least 30 times!

    I don't know, this is my first painting with multiple colors. o_O I have a long history of drafting/outlining in black and white though (especially cars, I wanted to be a car designer ever since I was 12 or something) so I ve got a very strict eye for proportions - colouring isn't really my forte in my opinion but I hope this will change with some more practice.

    That said, I can blame myself for being stubborn and avoiding painting classes etc. ( i ve also never been to a real Art Museum or Art Gallery)

    I love the excitement of "discovering" ways to achieve results in my own way, rather than take cues from others (although I do, when I get stuck in other things other than painting)

    If you really are interested in art, then you should maybe learn the old art of etching in metal. Without acid and etc. But with the tools you can either buy, or make yourself from hardened stainless steel. which you normally use in iron concrete mix. You know those long and thin steelbars.

    I believe, you can check the wiki article out. Which is quite informative, but they are talking about the art with acid too. But if you don´t acid then you can press the etching on a big mofo of a press where you choose the colours yourself. Just like litography and so forth. My father used to do some etchings.

    Barc0de: my father has just seen your paintings, and he thinks your paintings are great, and he likes your colours. And your graphics in the art. And he feel "the rythm" in the paintings are great, and he likes the drawings in the painting.
    So here is my wish, I hope you will never become an art gallery owners slave. And I hope you never will become a "let us figure something out art, artist".

    I will do that, and yes I will photograph his whale pictures, but be a bit patient with it. But I will make the photographs, so no worries about that :)

    heh, I happen to be a big fan of whales and cataceans in general due to their unique evolutionary development amonst other mesodachtyla!

    how do they determine a price? time spent on the piece? materiels? and finally if it's good? how do they figure out if a painting is 600 Euros good?
