Watercolour 40cm x 30cm on Arches 300gsm. Help Please! Would like some honest critique - this is a commission and I'm too close to it, never having done a vehicle before - the brief was for the orange tent and motorcycle with side car.....Honest appraisal would be good, thanks tons!

Thanks Cristina! Apparently it has evoked a very emotional response....in a good way!
So cool!! I bet they will love it!!
Hi Patricia - great critique thank you so much, always miss something!
Hello Silvana, thank you for taking the time!
Not good at giving input....but very happy they liked it!!!
Hi Sandi,
Love this gorgeous painting, it stopped me from scrolling.... !!
Just annother comment about making the bike darker.
The seat next to the petrol tank is slightly gradated which is beautiful.
Do the same to the petrol tank on the left top and botom right to show form, which darkens as it curves down.
When you have completed those edges and understand the principle, check for other areas you may think need the same treatment... Good luck.... :)
Really appreciate the time and comments, just love critique and discussion, it's gold! My muse/critic is away currently so you have all helped tremendously! Thank you :D
( = Wonderful, all the way around!!!
Thank you everyone for your input, it has helped tremendously. Bit the bullet and sent it to the client and they LOVE it, brought tears to their eyes apparently - so all good, whew!
Hi Linda - thanks so much for taking the time to critique...have attached the resource, totally agree with you, I researched the sidecar and they do look like mobile coffins!, so whilst staying true to the brief, how could I make it less coffin like? maybe dull down the 'handles' at the back? I will rework the sketch and see what I can do. Have also blued the mountains on the right a bit more and some suggested tree detail to improve perspective - it is interesting thinking of two light sources - the tent and the hidden moon.
Hi Britt - thank you also for your time and comments..have reworked it a little...thoughts?
Thanks so much ladies!
