Villers-Bocage
This is a painting that I'd done showing some of the British Cromwells during the Battle of Villers-Bocage on June 13, 1944. On this fateful day for the British 7th Armoured Division, the German Tiger tank Ace, Michael Wittmann, led his Tiger tanks charged into Villers-Bocage and inflicted heavy loss to the British.The image shows Lt. John Cloudsley-Thompson's Cromwell tried to rear backward into an alley when Major Arthur Carr's Cromwell was knocked out by Wittman's Tiger.

Stunning job! Wish I could paint like that... how would you suggest a beginner start?
Thanks,

Hi dwarfman,
Thanks for your comment. Though I am doing digital paintings now, I think it's best to have a basic knowledge of perspective and conventional sketching and painting technique ( I started my career as an airbrush illustrator ), also, researches are very important too ( and is never enough ).
