Nuffield 480 Tractor
The Story Behind the Urban Sketching
Another tractor from my greeting cards collection at Pioneer Park Museum Dalby. This poor little tractor seems to have totally given up and sunk into the mud.
My Sketching and Painting Process
Initial Pencil sketch.
Adding waterproof Ink over the pencil so this will not bleed during the watercolour stage.
Pencil marks erased.
Watercolour added loosely just for some basic colour.
Tombo brush pens added for toning and shadows.
Another layer of watercolour was added and some black ink work.
Drawing in all the fine details in ink I discovered that something was missing to complete the image so I added a barbed wire fence.
Final framed artwork and sold at my last exhibition.
This also won 1st place at Miles Art Show
Watercolour Paint, Ink & Paper
I use Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour on Arches France Watercolour Paper, 300g Hot Pressed or Fabriano Artistico Watercolour Paper 300g Hot Pressed..
Tombo Brush Pens N15, N45, N55, N60, N65, N95 and Faber Castell Fine-liners 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7
My painting come from my own experiences that I have photographed while traveling. By reading this blog, you as a viewer can now hear The Story Behind the Painting. Where, when, what was happening while I was photographing the wildlife.
Enjoy, Chris Osborne
