Grand Prix Sportique international art competition

318



Back in 1999 i entered the annual Grand Prix Sportique international motoring art competition,
in the past it had launched the career of Juan Carlos Ferrigno.

I was delighted when i got second prize,out of 600+ contestants world wide.

Apart from a big amount of money a lot of good came out of it,but it didn't change my career,wich looking back was a good thing,i would probably still have peen painting photographic...eek!

Here is the winner Andreas Mindt on the right and yours truly on the left.

The jury with the winning painting,left to right,Tony Brooks,Jody Scheckter,Paul Stewart,david Mills,John Watson,ken Reeds,Rowan Atkinson (yes Mr Bean!) Craig Warwick and Chris Rea.

did a lot more work on the car,next step is to get more reflected color into the blue and make it go faster...it's looking a lot more autumn now...still trying to work over the whole painting.




things are taking shape now,must try and leave the details,concentrate on the overall look...

Ferrari 275gtb4 wip3

bit more color,i'm still unsure and use very thinned down paint,starting to get a bit bitty...must watch that...i'mgoingtofastallready!my camara loves light blue...

don't know where i'm going with that road yet,changed the position and seize of the car.not unhappy with the colors at the moment.

Ferrari 275gtb4...wip2

after the drawing,i start blocking in the big areas,
trying to make the colors work with each other,
being careful to keep the distant planes back.

i like to draw things out with a brush,with a very thin mixture of magenta and blue,on a peach colored canvas.
fitting the car in is going to be the hardest part....

sorry,the pictures are a bit poor,because i shot them from the easel. my studio is a barn and the sun was going in out today.
i can't use the road in the photo,it has to be a dirt track...
