Watercolour Car Test 3

Another made up vintage car - loosely based on one of the thumbnails. Watercolours are definitely easier to use on proper watercolour paper - you can correct mistakes and it doesn't go all wrinkly. I don't like the lumpy surface though and it's hard to find really smooth stuff.

How about hot pressed watercolour paper? That's pretty smooth. Not as easy to find in pads as the rougher stuff, though. Personally I love the texture of cold press.
I'm enjoying your sketches as usual, especially the boats :)

Hot Pressed - Thanks for the tip, I'll see if I can find some. Glad you liked the sketches.
