One of the problems, if you like of painting int watercolours, is the realization of the action of a subject. This is not too difficult to achieve in oils nor in acrylics, but it has to be handled with deliberate attention when using watercolours. This is really the case where less is best. You will note that under and at the rear of the right hand rear wheel and under and at the right hand side of the left hand front wheel – I have not painted any colour at all. This is to represent the dust thrown up by the momentum of the fast moving car. The shadow surrounding the car, is broken up too, in order to accent the feeling of movement. Keeping the background blurred is another way to improve the sense of movement. Please enjoy these two motoring artworks.
