More from Nick Mason’s Ten Tenths collection… This is a Maserati 250F – I don’t know the exact provenance but these cars were driven in F1 by the likes (amongst many others of Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. The 250F raced from 1954 until 1960. One of the brilliant things about Ten Tenths collectionContinue reading “Maserati 250F”

Marker Renderings
A couple of marker renderings done for a marker rendering tutorial for some of my students last week. I always find these a little tough as I don’t do much marker rendering anymore, so the first couple always seem to come out rubbish… these weren’t the first couple – you don’t get to see thoseContinue reading “Marker Renderings”
Lagonda
A quick sketch of a Lagonda – again – from British Car Day…
Japanese GP
My thoughts are with Jules, his family and The Marussia Team. #ForzaJules
Italian GP
Campo Santa Margherita, Venice
This was the first sketch I did on the trip to Italy… I think the lack of practice shows! Still – it was a surprisingly tricky sketch as all the buildings across the “square” were slightly off kilter from one another which made for a slightly shifting perspective. A sketch in Venice – and noContinue reading “Campo Santa Margherita, Venice”
Maserati 250F
Another go at getting used to the Wacom interface. I’m generally pleased with the way that this one came out, but would like to “clean these up a bit; that is, rely less on the “sketchiness” and achieve a more “rendered” finish…
Twenty years on.
20 years. Hard to believe. This is a painting I did sometime ago – 2002 I think. I’d been planning to do another, but life keeps getting in the way. A sad anniversary.
E Type Painting colour test
You might remember a pencil sketch of this I did a couple of months back, though at that time, it was just the car… I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a series of paintings in this vein – E-Type, 2000GT, 280SL, Stingray, 250GT Spyder… all of them clean side views and all ofContinue reading “E Type Painting colour test”
2014 Mercedes F1 concept/fantasy
…another F1 car rendering. For this one I wanted to evoke something of the 1950’s W156 and the much earlier W154, W125s; very difficult because of the great gulf of time/technology between now and then (and the fact the older cars were front-engined). Anyway, I had a lash at it and this is the resultContinue reading “2014 Mercedes F1 concept/fantasy”
