……yes, I’ve finally finished painting the groundwork and grass on the (Spa) photographer so he’s ready to move on at last!   As I had some black left over on my mixing palette, I used it up by giving the chrome suspension (and cockpit) of the Cooper Climax a wash and once dried, I’ll give it a dry-brushing of gunmetal and silver and pick out the detail in a more subtle way.  I also fancied giving the seat a “livening up” by having it a nice red leather finish, so I gave it an initial coat of salmon rose and I’ll wash it down with a black/brown mixture to create shadows and midtones – I’m slowly getting back into some level of production so hopefully more tomorrow, Cheers,
