Description I wanted to do a really heavy, massive, bloated, classic luxury car and make it a gasser. It's just crazy to jack up a big '42 Lincoln for drag racing. It's even crazier to race it down the quarter mile in an evening gown and crash helmet.

The helmet's not crazy in itself, that's just good sense. But couldn't she get a helmet that went with her outfit better?

Watercolor, 10x29 inches.

Thank you.

I am thinking about doing a work-in-progress feature on one of my paintings. My process is pretty straightforward, though, so the trick will be to make it interesting.

I will throw out one tip now; learn everything you can about color. How it works, how it changes depending on lighting and environment, how colors mix (will this red make a more vibrant orange than that red? Do I want a more vibrant orange?), glazing versus mixing on the palette, how the eye sees color as opposed to a camera lens, rgb versus cmyk versus the myriad varieties of inkjet output.

Soak it all up. There's no such thing as too much information.

hahaha thanks! well...about color I know different ways to mix them and not necessary the same tone, mm..well..something like, using purple to make red darker, or blue for make the same with green, haha things like that...and I have tried using some of that but using watercolors, and not only that, I've tried so many ways, but I don't like them at all...hahahaha but thanks a lot for the tips, and the last you've mentioned may help ^^

And I will be waiting for "the progress"...hehehe
