I've
been enjoying painting this tank, especially the tread. Grey is interesting as
it's not really grey. For example the tan, so far is a mix of Indian Red, Winsor
Blue, yellow ochre, Burnt Umber, Naples Yellow and Titanium White. Stuff looks
grey in relation to the colours surrounding it. It's really a mix of many
colours.
Another enjoyable aspect of working on this piece so far has been
listening to the new Beatles Biography by Mark Lewisohn ...it's awesome. I've
read many other books on the Beatles, Davis, Norman etc but this one is more in
depth and a really great listen/read. Putting the Beatles into a historical and
social context really brings it to life. Interviewing many people from the time
really helps with this too, people who've previously not been heard
before.
Great painting so far, John.
