step3
finish...
very little drawing in this one,i like to start with blocking in the the dark colors,
the thin paint dries quickly so i can block in the other big shapes,not interested in details,working loose,making mistakes that will later show up as movement!
constantly comparing the large color shapes,to see if they work together,adjusting values to keep things far away or up close
things are taking shape now,slowly trying to make sense and details...
here i decided to move up the first three lights,due to the difrent dimensions of the original,
and here we are...

it is monday,...so back to work! thought i start the week with another little demo ( 24x30" oil on canvas) of Alex Zanardis BMW
ps,the color difference is because the photo's were taken on different time/light...nr1 is fairly close.

it is rainy and windy outside,hence the blured pic
here are two more progress shots,the landscape is really getting there now...
tomorrow i will try and finish the car.
did a lot more work on the car,next step is to get more reflected color into the blue and make it go faster...it's looking a lot more autumn now...still trying to work over the whole painting.
things are taking shape now,must try and leave the details,concentrate on the overall look...Source URL: https://ashesgarrett.blogspot.com/search/label/Demo%27s
bit more color,i'm still unsure and use very thinned down paint,starting to get a bit bitty...must watch that...i'mgoingtofastallready!my camara loves light blue...
don't know where i'm going with that road yet,changed the position and seize of the car.not unhappy with the colors at the moment.Source URL: https://ashesgarrett.blogspot.com/search/label/Demo%27s
after the drawing,i start blocking in the big areas,
trying to make the colors work with each other,
being careful to keep the distant planes back.
i like to draw things out with a brush,with a very thin mixture of magenta and blue,on a peach colored canvas.
fitting the car in is going to be the hardest part....
sorry,the pictures are a bit poor,because i shot them from the easel. my studio is a barn and the sun was going in out today.
i can't use the road in the photo,it has to be a dirt track...
this is the car Ferrari 275 gtb,don't mind painting that!
and this is the scene,a rural road in wales,like to paint that too!
