(Direct link to video) I made this little video about a sketching trip to the car races yesterday at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut.
Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty closed out the Grand-Am road racing championship with a 2 3/4 hour sprint in their Gainsco Corvette, which I sketched on location in watercolor and colored pencil.
Alex led the race for a while near the end, so I painted his car out front. He finished in third place, the third straight podium finish for the team.
Before the race we enjoyed hanging out with Grand Marshall Sam Posey, a celebrated race driver, TV commentator, architect and artist.

Thanks for your sketching videos. I enjoy them so much I have, in fact, finally though tentatively ventured into outdoor and other public watercolor sketching myself. I am loving that experience and my art shows it. Thanks!
I also like all those glossy highlights, done in such a fast sketch
