Don't be too hard on yourself Mark, I think it's a smashing little watercolour. I love the subject and I know from experience how difficult it is to get the dimensions of vehicles just right. I tried to do a tractor once and was so frustrated about getting it right.....I cheated in the end and traced it!! Glad you found a pen to suit.

Thank you Fiona, it is a challenge when there is a lot of detail to capture, I'm sure even this image could be simplified dramatically and probably have more impact for it....I'll work on it.

I thought I'd try another Pen/wash type painting but this time using Fine liner pens as suggested by Thea and Michael, I must admit, they are far easier to control. I could not get the headlights right no matter how hard I tried, they worked fine on the pencil sketch but I had to give up on the painting and accept them as they are. Think I need to work on my shadow detail too, the Jaguar wheel has no dimension or depth to it.
