Acrylic airbrushed canvas. This painting measures 36inches tall by 48 inches wide. The original photo that I took and worked from is here-[link]

The concept of this painting is based on the idea that automobiles have gradually lost their individuality and the class they once had. The 1960 Corvette was the last vette to have a grill with this amount of chrome and the amount have dwindled more ever since then.

Incredibly detailed airbrush work, i can't get my head around this. It looks like some very complex masking was used in building this up and the idea of putting acrylics in my airbrush scares me rigid lol

Theres actually very little masking used on this piece. I sprayed the car freehand first, clearcoated, then masked off the car with contact paper to spray the background and pavement :) Acrylics aren't bad to deal with as long as you use comart, golden, createx, or aquaflow airbrush acrylic paints. Windex inbetween colors and to clean:)
