| The model. I was at my niece's high school graduation two years ago, at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver. When the ceremony was done, and we all walked outside, this gorgeous beast of a car [a 1950 Ford coupe]was parked on the street. Thankfully I had my camera, and took several shots. |
 |
| I first masked out the car, and did several wet-in-wet gradated washes - a warm pink, a cool pink and several of phthalo blue and indanthrone. |
 |
| Then I started on the body, using a mixture of phthalo and indanthrone. |
 |
| Almost all the painting was done wet-in-wet. |
 |
| Then I started the details. The tail-lights were done with scarlet lake and glazed over with alizarin crimson. |
 |
| Starting to look like a car. |
 |
| I think I have the colours and values pretty much where I want them. All I need is a name to put on the licence plate ... any ideas??? Thank you very much for visiting! |
