udonlucky 40 #1 Posted February 14, 2018 I noticed a photography and art section here with no art. Because the days can be a bit slow here in Isan I took up oil painting about four years ago and found it's a great way to fill in time. Hopefully I can kick start something here by posting some paintings and encourage others to do likewise. The first is outside the Chinese cultural centre in Udon, the second a supposedly haunted house in Ko Chang and lastly a coconut vendor in Nakhon Nowhere. Cheers!

samsensam 7,347 #3 Posted February 15, 2018 nice paintings and a great hobby. reminiscent of some of steve kilbey's work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
udonlucky 40 #4 Posted February 15, 2018 Canvas and watercolour paper are very cheap to buy in Thailand and I like to use either at no bigger than 60cm so they can fit in the post or on a plane. Thanks halfaboy, I've done about 60 to date. Cheers samsensam, Steve Kilbey was also an excellent muso and I didn't know he painted before you mentioned it. Here is a portrait I just finished..

udonlucky 40 #6 Posted February 15, 2018 No. I offload what I can. Difficult here as the locals don't see past Buddha images and royal portraits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halfaboy 2,584 #7 Posted February 15, 2018 There may be some interest amongst members on this forum. The formats are oke (60 cm) and will fit in most of the condo's. Show something, include a price indication and who knows.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavisH 3,541 #8 Posted February 15, 2018 I've never tried oils. These are nice. I did acrylics for a couple of years, then took a year off. I've just started on watercolour. Watercolour is very popular among Thai and there are some excellent artists here. Here are some of my acrylics: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
