Color

I started to "paint" my drawing for "Gas" using photos, photoshop brushes and structures from photos. I turned out that my perspective wasn't wery well done so I had to make a new composition. It may seem a little rough but I think it will work just fine when I start painting.

By the way, I have made a lot of progress on my portrait of KW.

Portfolio

Been working on a portfolio to show the people from The National Public Art Council. Joanna came to my studio to take new photos of my paintings. Thanks for all your help!

Updates on portrait and A-Bombs soon.

A-Bones

Better road action. Still the '29 in the foreground has to get a bigger engine, someting with a blower I think.

Hockney

Still working preparing canvases. It's going well but not much to show. Found this great quote from great artist David Hockney.

“The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty– you know you’re an artist.”

Beautiful!

Transferring

Charcoal on canvas.

Painting.

I found som more inspiration from covers of old Hot Rod comics.

I have been working, stretching canvas, changing formats and sizes. At the same time the sketches, especially for the A-Bombs are developed. I'm pleased with how it turns out. New is the overturning '55 Chevy and the '40 Willys trying to avoid the crash. The Deuce Coupe has been there on and off from the start. It still needs a lot of details. The '31 should get an engine, the '55 and the Deuce are still rough sketches.

I hope to start painting on sunday when the gesso is dry.

I probably will work whith these paintings the rest of spring wich means i won't be posting a lot from Dogs for a while. You're of course welcome to follow the painting process.

Stretchers

Got some stretchers fo the A-Bombs and my new portrait project. The cross bracers did'n fit so I had to adjust them. The studio is beginning to look like there is a painter working here.

Found

Oh, I just found the first thumbnail sketch for No Gas. This is the actual size. The finished painting will mesaure approximately 130 x 155 cm.

New Stuff

I might actually have finished these scetches. It's time to stretch some canvas.
