Welcome back!

This week, I’ll be continuing our new project, the 1950 Hudson Hornet seen in the photo directly below.

When last we were together, the painting was a pencil sketch, seen below.  The sketch provided a guide for things to come, setting the proportions and major elements of the vehicle.

By the way, the Hudson Hornets were advanced vehicles with unit bodies, powerful 6 cylinder engines when equipped with the twin carb setup and good aerodynamics.  They were NASCAR winners for several consecutive years in the early 50s until the Hornets succumbed to the V-8 madness embraced by other manufacturers.  But I digress.

Since the last installment, I’ve highlighted all major elements of the painting in ochre.  I often use ochre for this purpose.  It provides a clear outline and is easily overpainted.  It appears in its current form directly below.

For next week I’ll be adding some colors to the major elements.  See you then.
