Triumph In Progress: Day 15

Triumph  |  36 x 36  |  In Progress: Day 15


























A couple of more days and I've got the underpainting of the fuel tank laid in. The word Triumph in the lower badge will be much darker and appear to have three dimensions in the final piece. Today I'll move down into the engine. The engine, the engine, the engine. . . .

Being an artist myself, I hate to be so mercenary about artwork but my first reaction to this work - when it is seen by bike riders/collectors - is "Cha-Ching!!!" Don't see this one staying on the gallery wall for long. Looks great so far, Neil.

Steve, I hope you're right!

Can you share about the materials you are using, e.g., the types of brushes that get those fine lines and the medium, whether you have to wait for the paint to dry at certain points? When you had to redo the Triumph emblem, what was your process for removing and repainting?
