I've spotted this old truck rusting in an empty lot for some times now - and I like it better than shiny, modern trucks... Actually where I live we don't have many shiny, modern trucks, but none as old as this one are running anymore.
The same before the color - I did it from two photos I took, I'm not brave enough to stay in a very passing place to draw, and besides, there's no shadow where this truck is... I don't want to melt.
This a little mix of sketches I did this month at the beach or watching the Olympic Games. I found it hard to copy my own sketches - the copies don't have the good movement and feel of the original, something's missing. Except my brother who looks more like himself here than in the first try, maybe because I went fast and simplified/exagerated his features? One of these days I need to try doing portraits...
My brother is the yellow one... It was a cool month full of friends and kids!

J'aime bien la page du mois d'août. C'était courageux de recopier des croquis. Moi, je les laisse où ils sont ou fais un couper/coller dans mon cahier. Je suis paresseuse.
such colorful, Fun pages, and your truck Rocks!
I love looking at your journal pages -so interesting and full! What do you use to add the color?
I feel the same way about the first drawing/sketch always being the best. That's why I always just draw and seldom do preliminary sketches.
I love those trucks!!! Your sketches are always a visual feast for the eyes...Love them! :)
Love your journal pages! The trucks are excellent.
Love these . . . especially that beautiful truck!!!!
Love the truck, it has character
I love all the colors and subjects in your work!
"I'm not brave enough to stay in a very passing place to draw". Welcome to the club!! ;-)
The trucks are awesome! I especially like the way that you did the metal on the tire, nice choice of colors.
Thank you very much for your comments, so reassuring and motivating! Monette, I just use my little box of watercolors and a cool brush I don't know the name of, it's large with a fine end and keeps water? And then I try to make the colors do what I want and sometimes it works... I keep getting surprised a lot...
The truck is wonderful-nice detail on that, and I like the two views.
Nice truck! The surprise in watercolor is the fun part! Looks like your having fun. Colorful blog.
As always your colors amaze me I love the August page -- the girls on the beach and the olympics are great - and the truck is impressive - Love your style
