I am a self-taught painter who started to paint four years ago. This is my painting ‘Before the storm’ which is a hyper-realistic painting based on Brixham Harbour, England.

The painting took me 400 hours to complete and is only the 12th painting I’ve ever painted. I paint in my spare time so the 400 hours spanned over 3 months of evenings and weekends, from the initial drawing to finally varnishing the painting.
