| Photo I took a few years ago at the Country Celebration at Campbell Valley Park [a nearby large pedestrian and equestrian park, sadly threatened with "improvements" by the parks board] |
 |
| Did a detailed drawing first, but forgot to include it here. I started with the roof - an aureolin wash, followed [after dry] by new gamboge wash. Shadows on tires done wet in wet with indanthrone and a bit of quin. violet and quin. burnt orange. |
 |
| The same primarily indanthrone mixture was used for the car body shadows. |
 |
| I made up a green with indanthrone and quin. gold for the body colour, and my favourite mix of indanthrone, violet and burnt orange for black [grille and tires]. |
 |
| ... carrying on ... more of the same ... |
 |
| ... and still more ... |
 |
| I am at this stage now, and must admit I am very pleased with it! I still have the interior to do and the lettering [you can see the pencil marks]. I am at an impasse - trying to figure out exactly what shapes and colours to use for the background. I think it will be scrumbled with more bulk behind the rear of the truck, fading to a finer, smaller area at the front of the car. TO BE CONTINUED ... THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY!!! |
