Watercolor, 9" by 12", Fluid 100 cold pressed paper. I tried to paint this baby blue and white 1953 Chevrolet 2 door sedan when I saw it parked right where I was going to paint in watercolors 2 weeks ago in Grafton, WI, but just as I started to sketch it on my paper, the owner took off in it. I painted it the other day from my photos and pretty much made up the background for it.

Here are the two watercolors with mine above and Erin Blum's below. Notice that she signed hers and I didn't sign mine. I named mine "House on fire" because I spent quite awhile trying to get that black cloud above the roof peak out by wetting and blotting the paper, and Erin spent some time on it as well after we came inside and she took out some excess color in the rest of the painting to show me how it's done. Her comment on the painting was that it was a pretty good start, but that it "looked like it was painted by an oil painter". I haven't gotten any comment back from her yet on what she thinks of my 53 Chevy painting, but I should probably expect the same comments. Notice her brush work and the looseness in this painting as well as some critical detail at the focal point. So, like I said, my water colors are a work in progress. Learning how to remove color and avoiding staining colors at the start and avoiding mud like my "smoke" coming out the roof are just some of the technical challenges that I will need to master!!!! WIP, for sure!!
Stu not Stud! Sorry, Stu!
New medium and difficult subject - you've got it to work well, hats off to you, Stud
This is really nice Stuart. Wow! The reflections are awesome. Not to much detail in the background, but enough to know whats there, which is a plus because it brings me back to this beauty of a car.
This is fantastic! The car is spot on!!
Great! How are you liking working with watercolors?!
Stu, It is so well painted! It is incredible that you pick up water color so quickly.
