70 GTO - watercolor

watercolor, 2018

available, 11"x15"

      Convertible red muscle cars are always popular. I've started experimenting with shooting my paintings with my dslr instead of scanning them. The gradients and color are better. But, I'm still struggling with even lighting and getting the paper as white as it should be.

      That was a tough green to create. I tried to match an actual factory color. It's close-ish. If you know the color, you'll get the idea. Call it a "suggestion."

      I'm starting to find ways of integrating a looser technique with enough realism to satisfy my previous style. This is very much the direction I want to go -- something I want to call loose realism, but that probably has a better, more accepted name. This one might actually be a little more "photographic" than I want. So, my loose realism eventually will be looser than this -- I think.
