My First Porsche Painting

[sneaky schnell]

Every now and again someone posts some Porsche based artwork so I thought now would be a good time to show my first effort. It is 150 x 80cm and will be an abstract representation of a classic 911 in full flight. I started a few weeks ago and considered creating a progress thread but I have been known to procrastinate and spend months, even years putting off completion. Anyway, here is a photo taken early during the process. Over the coming days I will post some more photos I took as I progressed. I hope to finish the painting in the next week or two.

I hope you will like it...

Excuse the pink hue. I was using a crap camera.

Some detail shots. Not too long to go. Hopefully it will be finished for next weekend but you never know...

That looks fantastic but I would be tempted to leave it like that!

That often happens to me too but then I do a bit more and have the same feeling again.

Looking at it again, its amazing how you 'see' the lines that are'nt there! I swear I can 'see' the bulging wings and the bonnet line!

Until I read the post I though that was the finished article. Looks good as it is, maybe keep this one and do another more detailed version aswell?

I really like that and am looking forward to seeing the finished article.

I must say, as it is with a splash of bold colour would look awesome!

Lovin' that just as it is. Well done that man.

[Trev450]

That does look good. As already said, I too would be tempted to leave it at that.

Very good, but the spoiler looks a bit cock-eyed to me.

.....Thats finished, it looks fab!!

[Ian58]

Leave it alone ,it's done looks great just the way it's

The more I look at it, the more I fill in the blanks with it's sexy curves.....

[Burnham]

Get that on a t-shirt and I'll buy it.

I am surprised how many people are saying I should leave it as it is. I will bear that in mind for future works. The painting is actually near completion but for fun I wanted to show the progress gradually.

I will try and get another image up later or tomorrow.

I really like it, how it is too..perhaps photcopy it ...and then continue?

One I did last year....it's about 4or 5 ft wide.... but the canvas is not bent...not sure why it looks that way..

I like both pics on here - they're great but agree that the OP should photcopy what he's done , stick it on a t-shirt and sell it - looks wonderful. T-shirts could be traditional Porsche colours too to make it even more interesting!

[This Is Pete]

I agree. The first painting printed onto a Martini blue t-shirt would look pretty smart.

Or maybe that as the breast logo with the Martini stripes down the other side of the shirt.

Excellent artwork, I have to say. The second one is also very sale-worthy.

[sneaky schnell]

The t-shirts idea is great and I will have to think about that.

The curves are starting to fill with some 80s red.
