      • Taking Water from the troughs

        Posted at 1:51 pm by gatf, on May 29, 2020

         Just finished a ‘digital oil painting’, using the Procreate app (no connection except as satisfied user) of a locomotive.

         This is a London and North Western Railway Webb Compound, one of the  “Dreadnought” 2-2-2-0´s, built between 1884-8 and scrapped 1903-05, No. 2063 “Huskisson”, a tribute by the LNWR to the politician killed by Stephenson’s Rocket at the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. He had the sad distinction of being the first recorded railway fatality. 

        The locomotive is replenishing its water supply from water troughs between the rails.

      • GWR No.16 “Brunel”

        My latest digital artwork…
        GWR “Armstrong Class” 4-4-0 No.16 “Brunel” at Westborne Park in the middle 1890s, and just finished today with extra time on my hands due to the lockdown.
        This painting is a high resolution digital painting made using tablet and stylus. The better quality drawing apps can produce surprisingly good results and be amazingly like the natural media paintings that I’ve done for decades.

        One of two typeface designs inspired by the hand lettering on a set of 19th century engineering drawings. These projects have been on the go a long time, alongside others. Just finished today!
