Hi Willie good choices my Friend!! just keep that brush steady
Brian,the only way your going to change the interest in flats for painters young and old is to get to look at what people are painting! there not flats mate, your going to either love them or not, thats Fact! most kids will hand there money over to Games workshop because there mates are doing it, flats should be pushed more , and Brian your doing it, slow process but if you convince one you can convince another, people have got to want to paint flats, you cant force them!
, subject matter is there, fantasy , military etc etc display of flats at shows we have attended have proved positive don't you think? again slow process, they may get a passing glance from the die hard round figure painters.,I've asked mates why they don't paint them, you get the answer, 'I've had a go' but didn't get the result Iwas looking for! so they are in the camp of having a go but probably or maybe not ever try painting a flat again!. I realy think most folk think flats painted well are a art form, bit like painting on canvas, but will not look at the real picture.There's all kinds of painting standards, maybe this attitude will never change i don't know, but Flats SHOULD be pushed and promoted at every show etc, if you get one youngster or accomplished painter then that's more than a start, and Brian hats off to you mate, your passion for flats is whats its all about...
