Since it's mostly water colour, the white horses on the sea and the white in the clouds, is it gouache or acrylic? Gouache. I am not a Watercolourist in the true sense. I Paint using watercolour paint, but use the same technique with oils acrylic or gouache . These days I mostly use watercolour. jim Edited March 2, 2019 by Vegaskip BETAQDAVE, mtaylor, lmagna and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegaskip Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share #394 Posted March 3, 2019 Early in the morning on Sunday 10 May 1719 HMS Worcester, HMS Flamborough and HMS Enterprise anchored off Eilean Donan and sent a boat ashore under a flag of truce to negotiate. When the Spanish soldiers in the castle fired at the boat, it was recalled and all three ships opened fire on the castle for an hour or more.The next day the bombardment continued while a landing party was prepared. In the evening under the cover of an intense cannonade, a detachment went ashore in the ships' boats and captured the castle against little resistance. According to Worcester's log, in the castle were "an Irishman, a captain, a Spanish lieutenant, a serjeant, one Scotch rebel and 39 Spanish soldiers, 343 barrels of powder and 52 barrels of musquet shot."The naval force spent the next two days and 27 barrels of gunpowder demolishing the castle. 13” X 10” Jim davyboy, schiffebastler, BLACK VIKING and 20 others 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J11 Posted March 26, 2019 Share #411 Posted March 26, 2019 Wonderful Tinclad painting and look forward to more of these. If you need images or more information on any Civil war ship Union or Confederate I have extensive research and data with images. Here's NO #8 Union Tinclad which a friend of mine is building a model of using a older wooden kit as the basis. Your painting of them is very concise, thank you for posting your new work.
