I did this one in detailed watercolour using the fine camel brush, then used image luminance texture to bring out simulated detail, but did use under-painting first because the original was incredibly sharp in detail, but because of the engineering nature of the subject I didn't want to mar the obvious care and craftsmanship that has gone onto this restoration, for me the colours were everything, I just wish I could paint the smells as well, and do an odorama, maybe when the next version of painter comes out they will include a scratch and sniff function lol.
children paint because they don't know they can't - so what happens as we become adults? - Me
Life is very nice, but it has no shape. The object of art is actually to give it some, and to do it by every artifice possible - truer than the truth. - Jean Anouilh 1910-87
