1940 Buick Special

I found this old car in Lovington, NM several years ago and am just now painting it.
It is done on hot press paper, w/ collaged phone book pages, drawn with charcoal, then painted with gouache. It gives it a neat texture. It is always a challenge, because you don't have a clue how it will work out.  Is always fun to keep learning new things, new techniques, and different ideas!
This will be 11x14 or larger matted and framed. It is available.
