Today I started with something I wanted to try since some time: painting vehicles. I found several tutorials for line and wash technique on YouTube (this was done after a tutorial) and I think this is the first of a series of vehicle paintings I will do in the next weeks.
Paper is very small format 10 x 15 cm, 100% Cotton cold pressed from Arches. All my watercolors are from Winsor & Newton.
I am sorry that I am not able to produce better photos of my paintings, especially from these small formats.
Thanks for the hint Voy, I corrected it. Please see the new uploaded picture. Thanks for your attention.
I cant wait to see more!
Maybe you could upload a picture with an everyday object next to the painting too? I'd love to see the scale of these. Of course I know how big they are, but seeing them next to an everyday object gives a whole other feeling of scale
So glad you helped that out Tom. Mind you, I did not wanted to be picky you know, yet it just caught my eye and it was disturbing the whole of that wonderful van/bus.
I added a picture with one of my fine liners I use in my line and wash paintings. Just in case someone is interested in the pens I use, I can recommend these for line and wash, they are waterproof and you get them for a price which is ok.
Hey Voy, I really appreciate critics. I know I am not a professional artist and I try to improve with every new painting. Only critic comments help me to correct thing I didn't see and help me to improve.
This is the kind of postcard I always want to recieve!! 😄😉
Thanks Voy, regarding the format, I have an Arches watercolor pad with 20 sheets in format 15 x 30 cm. I thought I do some panoramic formatted beach scenes or something similar, but then I discovered the line and wash technique. Here I think the format doesn't work too good, so I cut a 15 x 20 cm sheet into a 10 x 15 cm and a 15 x 20 cm piece. This gives me two suitable sheets of this wonderful paper to work with.
An excellent idea friend Tom. AND double the fun for us to admire your endeavours! 😊
Tom, you left me speechless. This is incredible painting! You surely thrive in this line and wash technique!
off to woodstock we go!!! lol This is amazing Tom
Thanks for your support Sunnylady and Toadi!
I feel like you should be painting scenes for a book, i love these, so real and descriptive.
Thanks a lot for the feedback Mrs C. I am glad you like the painting.

You did well Tom and a whole new step into your portfolio!
Mind you, the right rear tyre is not touching the ground, or was this on purpose?
