For the final painting figures were added to give the scene a sense of movement. The area around the headlight was lightened slightly. Im happy with how the figure's turned out. After a few small studies of how the heads should be placed I wasn't as worried to put the color on the paper.

After finishing the painting I realized if I want to do large car paintings in the future im going to need a better flat brush than the cheap synthetic one im currently using. This painting was only 8x10 and the brush lost all its water before getting halfway across the paper. Hopefully there will be a sale soon, and if so I will post where it can be found.

 



This is a study from last night. The car belongs to a family friend and when I saw it, it had to be painted. It is an old ford thunderbird. The car is beautiful so in the study the main focus was the perspective of the car and placing powerlines in the background. The area around the headlight turned out to dark so that was changed in the final.
