442 - watercolor+ink

mixed, 2016
available, 11"x15"

      I decided to jump forward into the muscle car era with an Olds 442, or 4-4-2 to be exact. The numbers stand for four-barrel carb, four-speed transmission, and dual exhaust. I had my doubts about doing a yellow car. But, using three different yellows and controlling the highlights actually made this one pop. The ink-only version is below and prints and gifts of it are available here.

  1. Wow!

    I think I've seen that car that colour too - or red or this pale grey green shade...

  2. Great drawings. I admire people who can draw mechanical and architectural items. Mine always look like they are made out of melting silly putty.
