At last, after a forthnight since I started painting it, Tartan is ready

I am a slow painter by all means and this Cameron of Erracht made me go super slow
I'm sure that if I had weaved it for real it would have taken me far less time but I'm quite pleased with the result

Anyway, this is what my meagre mortal fibres streched to the limit could produce, and for once, after soooooo many LOUSY pics, I can let the not so lousy pics do the talking

Warmest regards to all.

Ray

I'm not a painter, but let me be the first to congratulate you, Ray. Outstanding!

Hi Ray,

Lovely work with difficult colours in spite of which you have made the contrasts work well...all very subtle. I admire both your skill..and patience!
Look forward to your posting the finished figure.

Fabulous Ray,
I know what you are going trough. Started this weekend a Celtic figure and tryed to paint equal squares. Well that stressed me.
You may stressed alot more with all those thinny lines.

Beautiful work Ray! What I like the most is the fact that you even managed to make it look woven with just the slightest bit of "sketchyness" to the line work. That sounds bad, but I mean it in the best way!

Fantastic brush work. I am really amazed whit the result taht you have achieved. I looks like a true textile to me. How to hell did you painted that lines, they certainly don´t look like painted in one full line, but there are spaces to indicate the sewed lines, genial Ray..my compliments,

excellent rendition of the 'bully beef' tartan. I know from my own experience what a difficult one it is to paint, well done
best wishes
Tom

The tartan is amazing. two weeks is totally justified. I won't be able to come up with this for two months.

Your work on the tartan is a victory Ray - I've rarely seen it painted so well. It really looks like it's woven, and not printed on the surface, bravo!

I'm doing lots of Scots/Irish and British ancient figures...need to paint tartans all over the place...
Do they sell spray plaid anywhere?
