I love to draw cars, and they are almost as easy to draw as birds. I drew my first car, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad Sport Coupe, a couple of years ago. For my second classic car painting, I decided to go with a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder. I went with the same kind of background, Mid-West Route 66 tourist stop called Lucille's.
I want to paint another car, but I haven't figured out what classic car to go with.

| This image was taken through a glass cover. I changed the background a little because the white retainer wall in the background was wrong. I sometimes go back and change things in my paintings that keep bugging me. |

Research and drawing out my idea is my favorite part of a painting.
When working in watercolor I work in layers starting from light to dark.
Winsor & Newton are my favorite watercolors
