Old Timers

The other day when the weather was still bad I went to paint old timers at a garage specialized in these cars. There were plenty  cars to choose. I did these first two.

By cars I use pencil and watercolors . Sometimes Pen. I do three washes of color. The first one saving the whites of the reflections, a second for the shadows and third to smooth over both.
Ford Mustang

Ford Mustang: It was parked outside the garage. I am very proud of the reflections on the store window. You can see the building on the other site of the street.Chevrolet Corvette

Chevrolet Corvette: The car was on the hydraulic ramp.

A few days later there was also a big car show on the Ku’damm (an important street in Berlin West)Mercedes Benz 190 SL 1961

A Mercedes Benz190 SLBorgward Isabella Coupe 1957

An here is my favorite car, probably because I had not seen one before. A Borgward Isabella Coupe.
