Picture 5 of 5 from Album Some of my art. WARNING: THERE IS A NUDE PAINTING IN THIS ALBUM.
| First
Airbrushed girl on car bonnet
No digital manipulation. 13 hours.
Tools:
Devilbiss airbrush.
Hand cut Frisket Film stencils.
Hand cut tracing paper stencils for some of the smaller, sharper detailed cast shadows.
Freehand local shadows.
The painting:
One-shot signwriter's enamel and turpentine thinner.
Substrate:
Toyota Corolla bonnet sprayed with enamel, then baked, by Joe, a very dear friend and a brilliant auto spray painter from Liverpool, Sydney, Australia.
Technique:
I used the 'Boris Vallejo' technique, only with an airbrush rather than traditional bristled brushes. Basically, I sprayed a monochrome first, in a brown/grey skin tone shadow colour. I then sprayed the colours in high quality enamel thinned with turps to make the paint translucent. The idea was to emulate Vallejo, and also Rembrandt who often used 'glazes' to paint over his underpaintings.
