Seems a shame it's been left to rust, but it's a great subject - well done.

It’s got real character

Posted by Elaine Taylor on Tue 13 Jun 06:59:55

I agree with Fiona, you make it look easy to achieve something lovely out of a rusty old tractor, and I’m sure it’s not easy but you definitely have the skill in observing and painting this kind of subject Dixie. Good work!

A real belter Paul. I love your tones and contrasts, they give a great depth. Love the old crank handle detail.

A23x36 cm watercolour and pen painting of a rusty old tractor out the back of old workshops. It’s been very difficult to paint as the watercolour just dried up almost instantly and blending was difficult. Still despite that in quite pleased with the outcome, gave up trying too hard and just finished it off. I love hoe the difference bits of old machinery rusty in slightly different ways showing many different layers and colours.
