This is a commission I did for my wonderful friend, . He allowed me to paint his car from a gorgeous photo.
The car is his prized possession, close to his heart. That's why I categorized it as a portrait.
This was a doozie. Very challenging. I don't do cars, much less paint them. But the color, composition, and scenery was excellent inspiration for me. I loved doing this and I hope my friend enjoys the picture, likewise.
Never done anything like this before. It took about a month, off and on, 1-2 hours each time (sometimes minutes) because I tired quickly. With all that, it took about of 13 hours to complete. Key word, I took my time. I wanted to do a decent job... not sloppy, but as precise as I could get it.
Materials: Watercolor, Guosh (opaque watercolor), Acrylic, ...and colorpencils to draw in that grill.
