Hi all, this one’s been hovering about for a while as a Photoshop comp but thought I’d get it transferred to board and paint the background, then jump back onto the green Mustang while it’s drying. Paul, a friend from my Mustang days, asked me to paint his two fast Fords, so I took some separate images and put them together against a beautiful sunset. Here’s how it looks so far: Hope to get the background in colour tonight/tomorrow morning. Cheers, Anth

Got a start on the Sky, needs some highlights adding once it’s dry:

The rough plan was to block the sky and background in and let it dry whilst working on other things - but couldn’t resist getting the lighthouse in to see how it sat: It’s convinced me that the sky’s not a million miles off, so was worth doing.

Got the lighthouse and water finished this afternoon, going to get the tarmac in tonight then swap back to the Mustang I’m on with :)

I do like it when a painting goes well!  You draw yours out carefully from the outset, I usually don't - perhaps I should, given a struggle I'm having currently!

Cheers Robert! I do think drawing accuracy depends on subject matter - balloon tyres and egg-shaped wheels, and screwy perspective, don’t work for my painting style. As usual, ‘each to their own’ statement applies 👍

Pausing on this one for a while to finish the green Mustang elsewhere in the WIPs - background finished and flat black areas of both cars done.

Started to get some of the Sky reflections in on the Escort - wasn’t sure whether this would look too saturated but think it’s working ok so far:

Looking so good Anthony, wish my car had as good a paint job.

Same here! Contemplating doing my Pontiac black but going to have to shift a few paintings before that happens 😁
