Silver Arrows at Goodwood Revival

A dream assignment - visit the Goodwood Revival as a guest of Mercedes Benz UK in order to sketch the reunion of 10 Silver Arrows racing cars.

The weekend was incredible, wonderful party atmosphere, great racing and the Silver Arrows display was stunning. It was a real honour to witness first hand the sound and smell of these cars which my Grandfather saw and photographed as a young man in Germany. Thanks to all the mechanics who put up with me sitting in their garage, Mercedes and Audi for bringing these amazing machines and not least Angus and Rob who invited me and spoilt us rotten!

The garages were pretty busy (and noisy!) so i mainly did quick sketches with a Prismacolor pencil. There are a couple of watercolours at the end though. Hope you like them...

Finally got round to making a nice A2 print of all the cars I drew last December. If you'd like one they're available on my Etsy store... http://www.etsy.com/listing/98913140/auto-art-advent-2011

Playing around on the iPad. It's important to say this isn't all my own work as I started with a photo (or perhaps it was a render) from the press release announcing the car. I then redrew it with Inkpad, worked into it with Artrage palette knives and finally added grunge in Photogene

Another little postcard-sized watercolour of a fantasy racing car - sort of Indy looking I suppose.

Another sketch for someone who missed out at Christmas. Pretty pleased with this - it's definitely a car I'd like to own.

Nearly lost the picture this morning. I was taking it to the windowsill to take a photo, it slipped off and went behind the skirting and under the floorboards! Luckily it was only a few screws holding it down and it came out just fine once I'd dusted off the cobwebs. I must get round to attaching the skirting one day.

I was commissioned to do a sketch of this enormous Maxim Speedster - must be quite a blast to drive.

I'm doing a few more of these postcard-sized watercolour sketches for people who missed out on the Advent ones - let me know if you'd like one too.
