Colour now going onto the Mustang and it's beginning to become 3D. Love this bit.

It's coming along beautifully. I'm impressed that it's only A4 size, there are lots of small details, I'd have to work much larger on such a project...these days my hands won't let me do fiddly bits.
Interesting that you work late because of the heat. I guess we're all having to adjust. I'm up early and just lately having been drawing around 5.30 am...around four pm the sun has moved around my house leaving the front in shadow so I can do a little bit more in the front spare bedroom.

It's just with this heat and the paint drying even quicker I am starting even later. I find that even with these paintings where I am not using wet into wet it's often a challenge for me to get an even layer before you end up with 'stripes' where one bit has gone over another and you find it was already dry. Having said that I am sure anyone working with watercolour is having the same issues at the moment. As to the size I have found that a lot of folks like them this size, especially where they have a few and they can then put them all together. I have been doing this size for 45 years so i guess I have just got used to them being this small. I have done and do enjoy painting larger pictures as you can get even more detail (some OCD here!!!), but these I do in acrylic and as an example here is an AC Shelby Cobra which is about 4 times the size (by way of comparison with the two mediums)

Flying along! Those dummy vents at the front are great fun aren’t they? It’s details like that that bring the painting to life.Very true Anth. I have found that I can work so much quicker with watercolour over acrylic, probably around half the time so they do seem to zip along. I also like it as I get to the result much faster, which is after all the whole idea (well for me anyway). Yes the detail on these cars is great, simple by very stylish.
