Adventure by Design - Custom Truck Portraits

Thanks guys, I have fun painting details. I like the challenge of figuring out new ways to show depth and color combos to make objects appear realistic. At the same time I like the paintings to have a bit of an abstract feel too. Usually I try different loose techniques in the background to balance out with the details.

 

Sorry, no updates today term ends Friday so been working on grading projects in all my free time. Sucks when I let the pile get too high!

 

Awesome work Scott! I love working with watercolors! I mostly do pen and ink, but recently I've jumped into working with oil paints. They are a whole lot of fun! Excited to watch this thread! Glad there's another art buff here in MA

 

Thanks, and good to know there are others like me in here...and local too. I don't do much in oils anymore since the kids came along. 10yrs later that party train has come to an end. Now just need to wait for the littlest one to get a bit older before I can break them out again. Post some work would love to see what other people do.^^^

 

Let's see, 2 days of non activity on this thing. Time to get back to work!

 

Quick update. ...
More later

 

I was worried that with your talent it would look too similar to the original but you have certainly made it your own and I think it looks absolutely incredible even though i bet its not quite finished. I'm such a fanboy LOL.
I just like vehicle art

 

Painting #1 complete!
Now to find another one to paint. .....

 

I come from a family of artists (My great gramma was a bit famous) and these are amazing man. Excellent work!!!

 

Thank you, much appreciated....very curious, who's your great grandmother?

Wow, her work is amazing!

 

Awesome work!! Its really neat to see you do this for other people on TW, very impressed!!

 

Thanks man. She was awesome. She's been to France, etc. with her work. I have a huge book with all of her prints in it. My mom, and my grandma and my little brother are all amazing artists too. My brother designed tattoos for me and my girlfriend. Me......NOPE...unless it's computer aided design then I'm amazing....but hand drawn or paint, HELL NO

 

My goal is to be able to sell them, but I fugue I need to get a few out there for people to see to show it as a product, and one that I can produce in a timely manner. Ideas and suggestions welcome

 

People can submit pics and you can say "doable" or "get a better shot" then you can say it will be $XXX.XX and will take X amount of days/weeks time.

 

I put a link at the bottom of my signature, but I think a lot of people use the tapatalk app so they don't see it. Unfortunately, I've posted it in a few different places I just don't want to make it look like I'm whoring it out there even though I am...

 

I say Whore it out man.

 

Sounds to me like there are quite a few talented TW'S out there. I smell the the beginning of a new thread emerging.
