Saturday Painting Palooza Volume 306

Hello again painting fans.





This week I'll be continuing with the painting of the Ferrari F430. I will be using the photo seen directly below.



I'm using my usual acrylic paints on a 5x7 canvas.


When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.




Since that time, I have continued to work on the painting.


I wasn't able to accomplish as much as I would have liked for this week. NN11 took most of my available time, leaving little for installment 306. I did manage to push ahead with some details. The air extractor (below the license plate) now appears as it should. Note that the ridged sections are lit and the recessed portions are shadowed. To each side, the exhausts now poke through their respective ports, two to each side. (The one to the right is a bit too low and may need some revision.) Above, the marker lights now appear in red. The tires and rims now await only their final details. Things are going fairly well but there is much left to do.


The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.




That's about it for now. Next week I'll have more progress to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.

I write this as I'm gttingread for NN11. I'd love to meet any of our regular readers that will attend.


For this week I've actually done a fair amount of revision even though this is not readily apparent. I'v reshaped the roof and fenderline as well as the rear window. I've also added another layer of black paint to the body. The lights now appear in red and have been gently reshaped. I've gone over (lightened) the shadow and air extractor but these will both need to be darkened once again.

For this week I've continued (exclusively) to refine the Ferrari. A darker layer of black now covers most of the car. I've reshaped the lights and exhaust ports. The window glass now appears in blue. Below the car, the shadow now appears darker, probably a bit too dark. I'll resolve that before we're done. The car is almost ready to receive its highlights.

I've addressed several areas for this week's installment. First, there's that bright green background. The final version will not look at all like this but for now it provides your color-challenged host with a nice foil for the car. Newly covered in paint are the the lights, wheels (or rims for the gearheads on attendance) and the exhaust ports. The body has a fresh coat of black but this will not be the last. Finally, the stripes on the pavement have been darkened.
