Joe posted this photo on our modeling forum, so just had to try it out. A bit late, but better than never. Using Arches Rough, 140 #, 9 x 12 paper and D.S. watercolors. Traced the image onto the paper, then taped to a board to help prevent warping. Then applied DS masking fluid to save the white highlights.

My dad had an old Chevy, red with black fenders. This is great! Looking forward to seeing it finished.

( The birds and bows.)
