Last week we saw some really good work on the Tramcar from everyone, and well done all. I've chosen Angel's railway viaduct this week to keep us on track,(ouch!) , I've used a chalk drawing effect to start us off, so now lets see what you all can come up with.

Nice one KC. In keeping with the weather we've been having lately, there's a thunderstorm in Wolverhampton.

It's been a bit slow so far this week, so , just to give the thread a bit of a "bump"...........

That's a fantastic background KC, much easier on the eye than an old viaduct. It's very well done, I like it. Here's a night view.

The home owners might complain about the damp Nocky. Those are the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho and I parked the houses in a lake.

The houses look quite at home in that setting KC, very rural. No rush Angel, I know you'll post one of your clever graphics when you're ready.

Wolverhampton Roman Aquaduct, still in use after 2000 years. It provides water to the Wolverhampton Arena, where they have alligator wrestling every Friday and Saturday nights.

Brilliant KC, I love it, it looks so natural and real. Amazing pic. Here's my offering for today. I think that texture looks like a beach towel. ;D

This is how it should have looked Nocky, but I used the original bridge in the first one.

To prove how little the Americans know about their history, they still think that Cristobal Colon found their country.

Those look even better KC, you've really got it down to a fine art.

I have changed my technique a little bit Nocky and often use a bigger canvas than I need. This allows me to move my layers around and resize to get the best fit. I used to try and sort faults out of the finished picture. Now I put a layer on and take it back off if there's somethings not right. The trial and error of each layer and the alterations take a lot more time, but I think the finished picture looks more natural. Some pictures I cant get into, but others I can really enjoy myself.

I agree Pete, Angels contrbutions are always very interesting, with lots to look at. Another good'un Angel, and that was a nice one you posted Pete. Well done both.

I thought that bridge needed tarting up a bit.

It's interesting the way different people approach these projects.

That's another very good graphic KC, I'm really impressed with that one. Excellent work. For this one, I made it into a sketch, then used the radial mirror effect.

Thanks Nocky. The hardest part was getting a Chinaman to take his bus to Wolverhampton.

Thanks Lynnrose.
I haven't done a lot to this one, just put a brick under Angels left foot.
